Abstract

This document contains the results of a study performed to define the combination of vehicle characteristics and right-of-way improvements which best meets the Corridor Rail objectives for upgrading passenger service on the Northeast Corridor. Volume Two of a two-part report deals with economic inputs of rolling stock, electrification, shop construction, track maintenance, and service demand. Costs, planning, and systems engineering are discussed, along with tradeoffs, environmental considerations, and vehicles, with particular attention to tilt body design.
