The official list is now out:

There were a few smaller projects that we missed:
$13M for third track along the NEC in Delaware
$40M for Union Depot in St. Paul, Minnesota
$22M for grade separations/trackwork in Charlotte, NC
$30M for various projects in Washington state.
As for the Michigan grant, the money is to acquire the line and begin "incremental restoration". It will be interesting to see how that plays out - good in the long run, but will we get to the long run?
