Amtrak owns the rail lines that Metro North and NJ Transit use through the Northeast Corridor. The East River tunnels are shared use between Amtrak, NJ Transit and LIRR. Those tunnels were partially flooded. All required repairs. The NEC had overhead line damage, power damage, and rail damage.

The Amtrak request is in line with damage sustained.

Aren’t these the same tunnels Christie refused to rebuild when he blocked that project
