The Massachusetts portion is operated and dispatched by Amtrak, so there should be no issues with Amtrak trains being treated properly.Plus, you still have about 11 Grade Crossings in Connecticut, which also limit speeds.
It would be curious to know that on the State Owned portions of the NEC such as the segments in
CT, and in Massachusetts (the Commonwealth owns the NEC), how are Amtrak services prioritized.

In CT Amtrak operates and dispatches the portion from Mill River (just outside New Haven) to RI Border, so there should be no problem there either, The rest in CT is operated and dispatched by MNRR (CT border to Mill River (exclusive AFAIR)).
