As plans for the 2026 FIFA World Cup materialize in the Northeast, cities like Boston, New York/New Jersey, and Philadelphia aim to market themselves as a unified destination for fans. However, experts express concern that Amtrak, which manages the congested and heavily utilized Northeast Corridor, may be ill-equipped to handle the influx of millions of visitors. Currently plagued by delays, reliability issues, and infrastructure challenges, Amtrak's existing service may struggle to meet World Cup demand amidst increasing passenger volumes.
With the men's World Cup starting in June 2026, experts warn that the national rail system may not be up to the task due to its existing issues.
The Northeast Corridor is the busiest rail system in the U.S., but passengers have long complained about overcrowding, slow trains, and delays.
