This new, interactive Google map, created by Dan Schned, Coordinator of the Business Alliance, depicts the alignment of the Northeast Corridor in great detail, as well as all of the stations served by Amtrak trains. There are many other rail stations along the corridor, not shown here, that are only served by commuter trains. This new map of the Northeast Corridor will make its permanent home on the "About the Northeast Corridor" page on this website along with plenty of useful facts about the NEC, such as average daily ridership and traffic, ownership information, priority investment needs, and more. You will likely see more interactive Google maps included in posts on this website in an effort to provide more spatial information to our readers. We hope this will be a helpful resource for you in the future. Please post a comment if you have any suggestions for future map development.
In the coming weeks, we will continue to add more information to this Northeast Corridor map, including the location of major state-of-good-repair projects and bottlenecks, such as the Baltimore and Potomac Tunnel and Portal Bridge, and projects currently underway, such as major upgrades to track and overhead wires between New Brunswick and Trenton, NJ and improvements to the Harold Interlocking.
