Amtrak has launched a multi-million-dollar, multi-year project to improve the customer experience aboard its long-distance trains serving overnight routes across the country.

Local, state and federal officials have broken ground on a project to replace the 1.4-mile-long Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) tunnel on the Northeast Corridor.

By Dr. William Huneke Canadian National Railway Company’s (CN) offer to keep gateways open on commercially reasonable terms is not getting the attention that it is due. This offer is a key part of its proposal to combine with Kansas City Southern (KCS)—a transaction which significantly enhances competition. CN’s open gateways offer is a big deal. It means new, enhanced rail-to-rail competition. But for this to even be considered, the STB must first approve the CN/KCS voting trust. I was STB’s chief economist for 10 years, and I am surprised by the lack of attention to the open gateways commitment.
