What questions do people have about our Northeast Corridor high-speed rail project? Simple answers will go here, more complex ones may be blogged.

@Alon apart from the gateway project (or whatever the new Hudson tunnel project is called) and the new tunnel under Baltimore are there any new tracks and/or new alignments planned?
In general, what is actually planned? I've seen so many maps float over the years and nearly all of them have been duds.
What's going on in NY Penn?

thanks

@remi Officially, there are some within-right-of-way curve modifications planned in New Jersey; we're incorporating those into the proposal. We're adding some bypasses in Connecticut and a handful elsewhere - see map here: https://devincwilkins.github.io/nec-webtool/

NY Penn is just staying as-is; we're proposing some within-footprint switch modifications but that's it. The fantasies about adding tracks are too expensive for any budget.
