Sec. 24906. Eliminating highway at-grade crossings

    (a) Plan.--In consultation with the States on the main line of the 
Northeast Corridor, the Secretary of Transportation shall develop a plan 
not later than September 30, 1993, to eliminate all highway at-grade 
crossings of the main line by not later than December 31, 1997. The plan 
may provide that eliminating a crossing is not required if--
        (1) impracticable or unnecessary; and
        (2) using the crossing is consistent with conditions the 
    Secretary considers appropriate to ensure safety.

    (b) Amtrak's Share of Costs.--Amtrak shall pay 20 percent of the 
cost of eliminating each highway at-grade crossing under the plan.
