Part of a larger article on the railroad infrastructure in the northeast, but I found this paragraph to be a positive for CR and UConn. Delaney has DC to NYC covered, just needs one more piece.
The Northeast Corridor generates a fifth of the nation's gross domestic product and is home to one in seven Americans. Train riders between New York and Boston account for just over half of the combined air and rail travel market. Between Washington, D.C., and New York, train riders make up nearly 70 percent of the air and rail market.
