This seems to be pretty good for Amtrak. I am wondering how far 8 billion could go for the HSR. I remember reading someplace that 1 billion could get a HSR line from Chicago to Detroit. This includes building a new line on the abandoned NYC right of way out of Chicago. I saw this info from a link provided by Jis
Hopefully, some of that would go to the Chicago to St. Louis line and the Chicago to Madison to Minneapolis route too.
It seems that Amtrak could refurbish/rebuild all of the cars that are currently out of service. And order the needed viewliner sleepers and diners for the East coast. Maybe they can find replacements for the Horizons too.
