North Eastern Corridor (NEC) mail line is an extensive rail network which covers close to 457 miles running from Washington, D.C to Boston, MA and serving Amtrak, commuter and freight trains, passes through eight important states of United States and the District of Columbia. As mentioned in above sections, most of these rail line is basically owned by Amtrak itself. It will not be incorrect to say that five major hub metropolitan regions of north eastern corridor-New York, Boston, Baltimore, Washington, D.C and Philadelphia, to a great extent are dependent on Amtrak service for both business as well leisure travelers travelling both to and within the region. Infrastructure which Amtrak has established for NEC is also of great support to large and growing network of commuter rail services which supports and connects corridors hub cities and intermediate cities.
The intercity rail service existing in this region can be said as the most developed and extensive in the nation. With a forecasted ridership of 17.4 million by year 2020, it can be understood that how important this rail corridor is for the entire region. However major constraints and challenges which lie in front of Northeast Corridor is related to the capacity constraints and the urgency to upgrade the existing infrastructure. With rising ridership and introduction of new services it becomes important for main stakeholders to upgrade the already burdened infrastructure (Chen & Haynes, 2014). Cost estimated for these activities like infrastructure up-gradation and enhancing capacity requires close to $8.8 billion (based on 2010 master plan of NEC). Although ambitious goal of reduction in trip timings were set almost decades ago, but due to inconsistent availability of ...

...Téllez, 2013). In such circumstances it becomes critical for rail service providers to increase their service reliability and offer service which leaves no scope of complain. It is not necessary to have impeccable service only in passenger rail service category, but it is also required in freight as well as commuter rail services.
Another important aspect which is highlighted through this study is that, there is vast scope of investment in this north eastern corridor. Whether it is infrastructure enhancement or it is introducing new high speed trains or capacity enhancement, all of these requires extensive funding from both federal as well as private companies. Until and unless infrastructure will be not upgraded, there will be frequent issues in the rail service offered on this segment. Hence it is critical to revamp and maintain this entire corridor efficiently.

556 wordsRead More - Rail Essayexplanatory essayRail is the backbone of the overland transportation infrastructure in the both U.S. and other parts of the world. This has been the case since it was first introduced in the 19th century. From that time on, it has been a mainstay of overland transportation for both cargo and passenger transportation. Rail transportation is without a doubt the best mode of overland transportation for both small and large cargo that requires high efficiency. This is due to the cost effectiveness of rail as well as the shear amount of cargo that it can transport. In addition, rail has a long and proven history of performance that has continued to grow over the years. For instance, “In 1970, it took 2.1 ton-miles of freight transportation to produce $1 of goods GDP. In 2002, it took only 1.1 ton-miles to produce $1 of goods GDP” (Chopra, Meindl, & Vir Kalra, 2016, p. 441). There is also the ability for rail to be combined with one or more transportation methods to achieve the best mix of responsiveness and efficiency. Furthermore, there are many industries that depend on rail to carry their goods. This includes the transportation of goods from the agricultural industry, coal

Granted most people that commute from Madison to Milwaukee of vice versa aren’t doing it every day. They are generally just doing it once in a while. The technology of high speed rails is relatively simple; it consists of magnetic tracks repelling the train with a polar opposite magnet on the bottom. This creates a surface with little friction; therefore the train can go faster. A lot of factors come into play when the state thinks of funding this. Governor Walker rejected the funds and cancelled the project in 2010, but there are people that sill have hope. The cost of operation is in the millions per year and the initial set up cost is very large. But the revenue from the passengers should at least break even with the cost of operation each year.

Nevertheless, people’s attitude towards transit has been one of the important drivers of the evolution of urban transportation systems in America. The evolution of transit, from being the primary mode of transportation a century ago and thereafter declining into a highly marginalized mode in the recent years, is a reflection of the evolution of people’s preferences over time. The diversity of attitudes is a result of the diversity in the stakeholders of public transportation. The common public, or the citizens, form the dominant section of these stakeholders. However, socio-economic variations within this section create diverse opinions, experiences, and therefore preferences for transit development and service. The second set of stakeholders encompasses political representatives and administrators who may reinforce public opinion through policy development and implementation. The third section consists of businesses and interest groups. The opinions of each of these groups may be moderated by local culture and history and other collective belief systems.
