Using Harrisburg as a demonstration point, the system would travel east to Philadelphia and connect with the high-speed northeast corridor currently being operated experimentally among Washington, D.C., New York and Boston. Moving west from Harrisburg, the system would connect with the Cleveland-Chicago transportation axis and the St. Louis- Cincinnati route into the southern Midwest.

Interstate spurs, meanwhile, could be provided for the Reading-Allentown-Bethlehem locals, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton to the northeast, Erie to the northwest. Eastward from Harrisburg, Jones said, construction of the corridor would be relately easy, since the existing right-of-way of the Pennsylvania Railroad could be used. Westwardly, however, is another matter, and this is where the initial cost will be high, he added candidly. A completely new route would have to be built, and this would involve tunneling and bridge work to eliminate such natural deterrents to high-speed transportation as the famed Altoona curve. Obviously, ownership and control of the corridor, once constructed, are policy decisions which affect both the private and public sectors of society.

Shafer, in his message said he intended to appoint a committee for transportation and charge it with overall responsibility fitting the corridor into future. He also said he would look to this panel of private and public transportation authorities for guidance in determining the ownership and control of the route. One possibility mentioned in informal conversations is for the state to own the right-of-way and lease it to the transportation systems, or charge them a Friends may call at the funeral home Friday evening.

The primary prerequisites of the proposed corridor are that it be as straight and level as possible. Once these conditions were met, Westinghouse said, Pennsylvania would have a transportation roadbed capable of handling systems which travel as fast as 300 miles per hour.
