Pic of who owns the train tracks along the NEC

Ownership of tracks along the Northeast Corridor has never been totally clear to me. This picture helps a little bit:

The stretch of track from Philly to NYC is owned all by Amtrak. Any improvements to this stretch will have to be borne by Amtrak I'm assuming. So to get better times for those regular travelers between Philly and NYC; pull for federal subsidies so Amtrak can get on with track modernization efforts.
