The Northeast Corridor high speed electified railroad may be a reality by 1981. Proposals for the final system plan are awaiting Congressional approval. Three service levels are being evaluated: (1) Metroliner I, - a plan for emergency repair and maintenance on the Northeast Corridor of track and bridges and maintenance of present schedules; (2) Metroliner II which meets the minimum requirements for a high-speed line, calling for curve realignments and maximum speeds of 120 mph; (3) Corridor Rail - proposal for full improvements, including electrification of Boston - New Haven line and maximum speed of 150 mph. Problems remain - as yet the ownership question has not been settled, nor a financing scheme. Also to be resolved are questions relation to freight operations. But the future looks bright for the high-speed passenger corridor concept.
