The $2.7 BILLION Long Bridge Project will transform a century-old crossing that already operates at 98% capacity during peak hours:
• 2 tracks → 4 tracks
• 1.8 miles of improvements
• 7 new bridges
• 20,000 feet of new track
• 5 million Amtrak and VRE riders benefiting annually
• A new bike and pedestrian crossing between DC and Virginia
This single project unlocks more passenger and freight service from Boston through Washington to Richmond
Now we can actually watch the future of East Coast rail being built.
Early work is underway on the two-mile Frederick Douglass Tunnel in Baltimore. It’s the largest Amtrak-led infrastructure investment in the railroad’s history, and it’s the most consequential piece of the Northeast Corridor’s future outside of New York.

Reimagining Regional Rail is finally out!
The long term plan will turn a large part of SEPTA’s regional rail network into essentially a second metro system.
ETID’s run is so unrivaled in modern heavy music. It’s like them and Converge. Just every single record they got better and evolved their sound without changing who they were.
MARC will run some Brunswick Line trains to Baltimore, skipping Union Station.
MD's 2 biggest centers are MoCo & Balt, and there's never been a direct train btwn them.
Hard to call this direct, but it'll be fascinating to see if riders materialize.

This case is separate from our anti-monopoly lawsuit against Live Nation.
We are fighting for fairness for fans on every front.
