Umm, unfortunately outside the Northeast Corridor (Washington-New Rochelle and New Haven-Boston South Station) Amtrak does not control the speed of the tracks they run on, it's dictated by the freight railroad they run on. The freight company maintains the tracks to a certain standard, and based on the type of rails used, amount of ballast, signaling, and type of ties used the speed is determined by certain criteria. So unless Amtrak is willing to pay for those items, things stay at the freight comapny's will.
