Amtrak executives say a new rail tunnel linking New York and New Jersey must be built — sooner rather than later — with the costs shared among the states, railroad and federal government.
“I believe there’s an inevitability to it,” Amtrak Chief Executive Officer Richard Anderson said in a meeting with Bloomberg reporters and editors on Thursday. “The reality is Amtrak owns this tunnel, and it is a vital national asset that has to be maintained well and has to be reconstructed.”
