      @380kmh long shot but a rational one - have you seen any reports / sources / case studies on incentives and public-private means to encourage commercial rail use ... like a roadmap to rehabilitating that infrastructure?

      Not offhand...part of the problem is that in Japan most rail projects are new starts, rather than rehab, whereas in USA, most rehab is not to the standards that would allow high ridership.

      It depends a bit on the corridor, as each corridor will have different potential use and different degrees of neglect. Is there one route in particular you had in mind?

      definitely the northern hinterlands of the East Coast network ... WACR is about two miles from my backyard

          the good news is this route is already in use--I don't know how good the track condition is, but some minor rehab and maintenance would probably be the place to start: replacing ties, reballasting, etc...next would be signal modernization, probably the most important step

          Once you have signals to allow for hourly-or-better trains, you want to work on building the actual stations and securing the actual passenger trains (DMUs, like the ones pictured, would probably suffice for a low-population area like northern VT)pic.twitter.com/odEJraVJEk

          good luck! I hear that the improvements Amtrak made to their "Keystone Corridor" are exemplary, at least by American standards
