The long distance trains, I believe, are completely funded by Amtrak.

It takes a few hours for that train to pass through Virginia. It's like saying that Vermont doesn't contribute to all of the Vermonter on trackage outside of the NEC. Between New Haven and Springfield, it's CDOT. I believe from Springfield to Greenfield, MassDot helps fund the Vermonter and then the duration of the trip north from Greenfield, it's Vermont.True but I can promise you that New Hampshire doesn't pay a dime for operation of the Downeaster.
