The Federal Railroad Administration is awarding $16.4 billion to 25 passenger rail projects in seven states where the Northeast Corridor runs between Boston and Washington.
Some of these projects will also help facilitate the movement of freight goods via rail since freight rail and passenger rail share tracks in certain areas in the Northeast.
Projects were selected from the Federal-State Partnership for Intercity Passenger Rail, a program funded by the bipartisan infrastructure law of 2021.
