An existing 65 mi rail corridor from Philadelphia, Pa., to Atlantic City, N.J., is being studied for redevelopment. The French Compagnie General d'Electricite wants to develop this route for a high speed electric system. Trains would cover the distance in 40 minutes, with top speeds hitting 125 mph. Potential ridership includes casino visitors to Atlantic City and commuters into Philadelphia. The status of the project and its future are outlined. Several other foreign companies are interested in developing some rail lines in the U.S. Congress is taking steps to encourage these private investments in the U.S. rail system. (1 photo)
