If President Biden gets to sign the huge Infrastructure Bill, it will contain a $66 Billion birthday gift for American passenger and freight railroads, most of it for Amtrak. It will eliminate the maintenance backlog and pay for the long delayed upgrades to the Northeast Corridor, as well as providing billions of dollars for intercity rail and the development of high speed rail links. Got to be good news for American Rail fans. We finally have a President who believes in the future of railroads in the transportation sector, not to mention that he's a big fan of Amtrak itself.
Hopefully the bill will pass the senate. I aint a railfan but some trips I have done on Amtrak haven't always gone smoothly. Hopefully the extra funds will improve service
And doesn’t Biden have a station named after him? On a serious note this is good news and the investment is direly needed
