A link to Phoenix or Tucson from the Southland is also part of the plan.



"With @POTUS's infrastructure plan, Amtrak will create jobs and improve equity across the country, and we are ready to deliver," Amtrak tweeted in response to the infrastructure plan. "America needs a rail network that offers frequent, reliable, sustainable and equitable train service. Now is our time, let's make rail the solution."
