93 miles of high speed track south of NY could cut 30 minutes off of the travel time between NYP to DC.  Getting the time to 2hrs will beat air travel without a doubt. $117B isn't just for high speed track, it includes fixing/ replacing bridges and tunnels. upgrading slow track to 125 or 135mph where possible. It's an worth investment.
