I can't imagine AMTRAK agreeing to this.

Amtrak just has to say, "Sure, you can run the NE corridor, but you also have to run all the other trains that see limited ridership around the country, as well as all the other trains that local towns are screaming to run but nobody will ever ride," and then watch them run screaming off into the darkness...
