Restoring Boston to Chicago rail hit by torn track bottleneck
In New York the plan to revive the Boston to Chicago passenger route through the Capital District stalls over a 12 mile torn up track section. The line, abandoned in 1971 with Amtrak formation, would cost about 1 million to rebuild and would require a longer 10 mile 50 minute detour via a backup route. Albany notes the mistake as ridership climbs.
