NEC: Washington-Philadelphia

The Northeast Corridor (NEC) is an electrified railroad line in the Northeast megalopolis of the United States. Mostly owned by Amtrak, it runs from Boston in the north to Washington, D.C. in the south, with major stops in Providence, New Haven, Stamford, New York City, Newark, Trenton, Philadelphia, Wilmington, and Baltimore. The NEC closely parallels Interstate 95 for most of its length. Carrying more than 2,200 trains a day, it is the busiest passenger rail line in the United States by ridership and by service frequency. The majority of the line is built for speeds higher than 100 MPH (161 km/h). The NEC is generally divided into four distinct sections, being Boston-New Haven, New Haven-New York, New York-Philadelphia, and Philadelphia-Washington. This route covers the latter-most section of the NEC from Philadelphia to Washington.


This section of the NEC between Philadelphia and Washington has a history spanning almost two centuries, with the earliest parts of the line opening around 1837. From 1928 until 1935, the line was gradually electrified for high-speed rail services. Over the years, the tracks between Philadelphia and Washington eventually became the mainline of the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington Railroad (PB&W). The PB&W Railroad operated from 1902 to 1976, with the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) becoming its major operator/maintainer until Amtrak's formation in May 1971. Presently, the line is now entirely owned by operated by Amtrak, although MARC, SEPTA, and Norfolk Southern trains still continue to share tracks with Amtrak trains.

This is the full 136-mile (219 km) southernmost section of Amtrak's Northeast Corridor electrified high-speed rail line running from ZOO Interlocking in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Union Station in Washington, D.C. This route is a direct extension of the Baltimore to Washington route available as payware DLC in the Steam store. All MARC and SEPTA stations are included within the Baltimore to Philadelphia section of the route. Also included within this route is SEPTA's Airport Line.
This route primarily makes use of the Washington to Baltimore signalling. This route currently uses Train Type "A" speed limits; In other words, the displayed speed limits display the speeds for Acela Express trains with their tilt systems enabled.
