The details about who gets how much is being posted 1 state or corridor project at a time at http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/st...ts-and-releases.
So far:
Iowa get $17 million
Cleveland - Columbus - Dayton - Cincinnati corridor gets $400 million
VA and NC combined for the Charlotte - Raleigh - Richmond - Washington, D.C. gets $620 million
CA gets $2,344 million not just for HSR, but some funding for the Surfliner and Capital Corridor routes.
Minneapolis/St. Paul - Madison - Milwaukee - Chicago corridor gets $823 million total
Chicago - St. Louis - Kansas City corridor gets $1,333 million.
Texas Ft. Worth Area gets $4 million for signal timing improvements at grade crossing for the Texas Eagle. They must have figured they had to throw something to TX.
Adds:
Eugene - Portland - Seattle - Vancouver, BC corridor gets $598 million. Will add 2 additional daily round trips between Seattle and Portland, reduce travel time by at least 5% (odd way to put it). Wouldn't they have to buy at least 1 more Talgo set to add 2 additional daily trips? Hey, call WI to tag on to the Talgo order...
