Back in the 90's both tunnels had the track lowered about as far as they could (without the walls coming in) so that they clear Amtrak Superliners and VRE Gallery cars. As far as I know there is no room for catenary wires or catenary rails. Digging new tunnels in Washington is problematic due to Metro subway tunnels, the Congressional subway system and important government buildings. I'm not sure if the Senate subway goes over or under the 1st street tunnel.
Then it comes to be that the soothing light at the end of your tunnel
