I have some news regarding this year's round of RAISE grant's. Here are all the projects where intercity rail (not freight, regional, or commuter rail) is receiving funding:
The New London (CT) Union Station renovation is one of 5 projects in New London receiving a joint 17 million
Fresno is receiving 20 million to renovate their train station for California High-speed Rail
San Bernadino is receiving 25 million for the construction and design of Brightline west Stations
I know we are sad that none of this years projects directly involved Amtrak, but we’ll get our own round of funding to celebrate this fall when the FRA gives out the money from the Corridor ID program
