Because it's under 750 miles, all you need to do is get all the states the train passes thru to agree to provide a subsidy for the train(s).

And find equipment.

Lessee, the bi-levels from the Nippon-Sharyo plant are spoken for into 2018.

After that we could probably get your three coaches and a bag-cafe. Not sure

when the new engines are due, but roughly about the same timeframe. Except

there's contracts for the new bi-levels and diesels, with identified funding.

For these extra cars you'd need extra money. Write your Congresscritter and

ask for another round of Stimulus funding. LOL.
