Responding to an Amtrak request from late last year, the Surface Transportation Board announced today (July 11) it will open an investigation into Sunset Limited timekeeping issues.

[Last Tuesday]’s board decision also outlines the framework for the process — a detailed procedure that will continue well into 2024. Establishment of that framework is necessary since this is the first such investigation under the responsibility granted to the board under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement act of 2008.

In early May 2023 I embarked on a train journey throughout the eastern US to see what it was like. I really enjoyed my trip and recorded a travel log series for people to check out!

The final project will likely cost $17 billion and the federal grant is for $6.88 billion. NY and NJ will equally split the costs and overruns unlike the last attempt to build the tunnel.

Do you think this is the one? Will it finally happen this time?
