NEW YORK — Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has announced nearly $800 million in projects improve rail service in the crowded Northeast.

The announcement Monday at Penn Station is part of a $2 billion award going to rail projects in 15 states nationwide. It was money originally awarded to Florida but rescinded after the governor canceled rail plans there.

The Northeast's share will be used to upgrade train speeds from 135 mph to 160 mph on critical segments.

He says the money will indirectly improve service on other commuter lines by making shared electrical lines and other infrastructure more reliable.

LaHood notes the Transportation Department received nearly 100 applications for federal rail money. He says it's evidence the United States is hungry for better rail service.

Great news - thank you Florida for electing Rick Scott, who's actions have caused your rail money to head to the Northeast instead of creating jobs in Florida.

Why spend two billion dollars we don't have on another government fiasco? Just sell AMTRAK to the private sector. Or do you statists just like collecting taxes?

Scott's own transportation department just released a study indicating the rail line between Tampa and Orlando would have been profitable, and would have created jobs in Florida.
