The PRR already had plans for a replacement tunnel that never got built, IIRC. But the FRA does not look to be dusting off those plans, instead looking to reinvent the wheel as they did with the "Acela Express" mess. The FRA is also insisting that the new tunnel be able to accommodate double-stack trains.The Great Circle tunnel, which looks like it may be the version they're going with, goes through deep rock. |
