Just wondering, does anyone have any documents regarding HSR to Montreal? I'm wondering what the fastest and the most likely routes would be. I think it is safe to assume it would hit Manchester along the way whatever way it goes?
Also, assuming N-S Rail Link gets built, does the Downeaster fall prey to Acela extension? Or does it stay it's own? I don't think it would cover it's own costs, so perhaps all Acela north of Boston is better directed towards Montreal. I was thinking that turning the Downeaster into a Portland - Boston - Cape Cod route would make for pretty assume seasonal service in any direction. Don't really see a need to go all the way to Acela for either.
