ARC fiasco begins to unfold...

If NJT owned the line it would not be able to host the acela. They don't have the money to keep wires and track in good enough condition on the northeast corridor.

 

Reagan killed funding for a plan that was to replace portal bridge back in 1982 i think it was. He lowered amtrak's funding to the point that many people got scared away, it's just now rebounding.

 

Obama has the crazy tea party nutzoids blocking increased funding for transit and amtrak, so this ARC cancelation means short of FDOT funding the entire thing is dead in the water.

 

It's too bad they can't build that 2nd bridge anyways, would save time.
