NORTHEAST CORRIDOR HIGH SPEED RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. TASK 4. SCENARIO DEVELOPMENT AND SYSTEM SIMULATION

The report covers, in brief, the preliminary work performed in identification, development, and evaluation of 14 alternative scenarios to handle estimated high potential demand for rail services in the Northeast Corridor in 1990. Additionally, the report outlines the approach and methodology, the assumptions and constraints, and the findings resulting from the LOGSIM simulation of Scenario 13, at the estimated high potential demand for 1990. Changes in track configuration and interline connections for 1990 operations are identified.
