Building that N-S tunnel in Boston to run Amtrak through it makes little sense to me. The cities north of Boston are too small to make any real difference to passenger numbers for intercity trains.
Building it to turn the commuter rail into a through-running RER-like system makes perfect sense (including full electrification). Which I know has been proposed a few times already. Do that, and then have a few Amtrack trains run through it? sure, makes sense as well.
