Looks like Bush will propose and Amtrak fiscal 2007 budget of $900 million. Also the administration's plan to separate Amtrak from the responsibility of managing the Northeast Corridor appears likely to not be pursued.

Both good things for my commute; Amtrak will continue to get funding and there should be plenty of regualr Amtrak trains running between Philadelphia and New York City. The price of tickets is still another matter.
