Record of Decision: Baltimore & Potomac Tunnel Project
The U.S. Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) has released a report that details its decision with regard to the Baltimore and Potomac (B&P) Tunnel Project. This project will replace the 1.4-mile-long rail tunnel located along the Northeast Corridor, which is used for Amtrak Regional and Acela intercity passenger trains, Maryland Area Rail Commuter (MARC) passenger trains, and Norfolk Southern Railway (NS) freight trains. The report aims to address the structural and operational deficiencies of the existing B&P Tunnel and to accommodate future high-performance intercity passenger rail service goals.
