NORTHEAST CORRIDOR FACTS.

Amtrak's NEC is the heaviest traveled railroad in North America, with 1,400 trains operating over some portion of the Washington-Boston route each day. Amtrak operates approximately 120 of these trains, while the bulk of the remainder are commuter trains operating in D.C., Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Approximately 20 through freight trains operate on portions of the NEC daily, while another 50 local freights serve the 165 industrial customers adjacent to NEC tracks. The vast majority of this freight train activity occurs on the southern, New York-Washington segment of the NEC.
