before I get to far into this. Do I think Ameristar should take over Amtrak, I don't know. Will they, I doubt it. Will all of these routes come to be? not likely. But looking over AmeriStar Rail 's page their maps show some interesting routes.
My questions are about the physical aspects of the routing. For example, can a train go from NY Penn Station to Worchester to Boston North station? Or Albany to NY Penn Station to Long I thought Metro north and LIRR had different third rail systems) I know that the NEC and the Harrisburg line are for the most part free of crossing but what about Richmond to DC, Albany to Penn Station, New Haven to North station in Boston. Can a train go from DC to Hoboken? Once again, I know that these routes are pie in the sky and would cost more than people are willing toto spend(congress) I am just wondering about physical routing " you can't get there from here because...." not the this will never happen because congress, Amtrak won't give up their. , money unions and so forth,
any just a few questions thanks in advance.
Sorry about the typing I am limited to one hand for now due to an injury.
