NEC to ACC to RIC?
There is local pressure in Virginia to electrify the rail connection between Richmond and Washington DC, and therefore to Amtrak's Northeast Corridor (NEC) serving Boston, New York and Washington. At the same time - and given plans to extend electrification to places like Charlotte and even Atlanta - it could be renamed the Atlantic Coast Corridor (ACC).
My ambitions are a little smaller. Why not extend it the few miles beyond Richmond to Richmond International Airport (RIC)?
Two railways get very close to the airport - one on the southern boundary and one on the northern boundary! It can't be difficult to connect one or the other - can it?
If done, the railway would then serve Newark Liberty International Airport, Baltimore Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport and Richmond International Airport.
IARO stands ready to help, as much as it can. For more about us, visit IARO's main web-site.
