Northeast Corridor

The Northeast Corridor (NEC) is a key rail line in the United States, running from Boston, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C. It connects major cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, serving millions of passengers each year. The NEC is known for its high-speed train services, including Amtrak’s Acela Express, which significantly reduces travel time between cities. It's a vital transportation route that supports both commuter and long-distance travel, facilitating economic activity and connecting people across the densely populated Northeast region.
