On the regular "Joseph thinks up something silly" Amtrak working with Septa, Marc, and whoever else owns this trackage to make a second nec for added capacity and helping doing overhauls on the ex pennsy wires. Although you probably would want to electrify this too.

drew up a sorta basic idea of 3 different lines based around PART bus service, a red line from Clemmons to Greensboro, a green line from Winston-Salem to Lexington, and a blue line on the NCRR between Burlington and Lexington.
Service already exists on the Blue line in the form of the Piedmont and
