It really is eintixcg that we're positioned to fix up rail service here. I've always been frustrated that the Northeast Corridor ends in DC, with the symbolic switching of locomotives from electric to diesel. It's like entering a third world country! (one with poor rail service anyway)VA asked for $1.5bn to pay for a few different projects that will drastically improve service between DC, Richmond, Newport News, and Petersburg. * $185 million to add a third rail track between Richmond and Fredericksburg;* $152 million to improve conventional rail service between Main Street Station and Petersburg; and* $195 million to upgrade the rail corridor between Richmond and Washington, D.C., to allow high-speed trains that could cut the trip to 90 minutes on a reliable basis.MOST important to us locally is $491 million improvements in a six-mile stretch around Richmond's Acca rail yard and a 13-mile link between the yard and Main Street Station in the city's downtown. The improvements are necessary to remove bottlenecks that limit rail service to the renovated station.
