Last Week I posted on various PA and Rail Subreddits with my proposal for Intercity & Regional. My Proposals would fill in the missing holes in the Amtrak Connects US 2035 and FRA Long Distance study. I’ve also included the Delaware State & MARC Rail expansion plans with some changes. I used the open railway map to comb through the various in service routes and abandoned corridors that service can be restored over. I do not have a map showcasing the proposals, but one is very slowly in the works. An old post on R/Baltimore addressing Urban transit.
