I can see expanding the service lines, but Amtrak can do some of that on their own.
Private funding seems pretty optimistic.
Why would Amtrak want to participate in a service that competes with their own?
And why add another layer of corporate management, even though it is a private company?
Running everything at top speed seems like a good idea, but they are going to need their own set of Acela-type trains to do it.
