[QUOTE]Originally posted by DC2001: [QB] I'll agree the Northeast Corridor is a financial drain on Amtrak. My point really hinges on how you define "control", and I contend that Amtrak needs to retain day-to-day control of the tracks (dispatching, scheduling, etc). Some form of "port authority" might work, by relieving Amtrak the cost of maintenance and upgrading, but there are problems with this. Besides, rather than create (and fund) a new agency to manage the corridor, why not just give Amtrak the same subsidy? Proper track maintenance is going to cost about the same, whethor it's performed by Amtrak, a state agency, or someone else.
