NORTHEAST CORRIDOR HIGH SPEED RAIL PASSENGER SERVICE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. TASK 4B. SYSTEM SIMULATION OF SCENARIO 14

This report covers the findings resulting from a LOGSIM simulation which identifies the required improvements and changes in facilities, and the estimated cost thereof, to handle estimated high potential demand for rail services in the NEC in 1990, and to meet the service criteria established for CorridorRail service. Included, in this analysis, is a comparison of the estimated costs for physical plant improvement and changes for Scenario 14 with those developed for Scenario 13 in the report on Task 11S, Improvement Plan for Physical Plant With Estimated Costs, August 1975.
