"WSJ.com: A Northeast-Corridor Bullet Train"

WSJ.com article about "A Northeast-Corridor Bullet Train". The Journals states that "Today's Amtrak service—under the Acela brand name—is by international standards a joke. A new public-private partnership could change that"

I couldn't read the article since I don't subscribe to the WSJ but with the ARC getting shelved I think private investment is needed to kick start that project sooner rather than later. I'm for private investment in the NEC. It's not like Amtrak and NJT are cheap so the more competition the better.
