I think the main issue with the track is that they'd have to increase the turn radius on a lot of places. It's an extremely crowded corridor. That means massive amounts of eminent domain. Thousands of people would list their homes and businesses. It's not going to happen.

Oh no, i guess we'll just have to demolish I-95 and start from scratch using its right of way :P

Just straightening out the Bridgeport S curve alone is a massive undertaking requiring cutting a new ROW through a big chunk of downtown Bridgeport, nevermind the rest of the track changes that would be needed. We're decades away from being able to do it in the best case scenario.
