Abstract	After two disappointing work seasons during which goals were never reached, the Northeast Corridor Improvement Project hit its stride in 1979. Amtrak's Track Laying System installed 121 miles on concrete-tie/welded-rail track. The redirection of this project includes new goals for bridge and tunnel reconstruction, track realignment, electrification, communications, signals, fencing, stations and maintenance facilities. These are fitted in the $2.5 billion budget for Corridor rehabilitation to produce a system capable of reliable high-speed train performance.
