There is a thread on this in the Amtrak forum however what is being discussed there is primarily related to Amtrak's equipment plans.
However there is quite a bit in the plan relating to capital spending on the NEC. What struck me most was under the section for bridge replacment one of the project discussed was replacement of the portal bridge with a 4 track high level bridge. No time frame was listed and in fact by 2009, the end of the 5 year period covered, they only expected to be in the environmental review and design stage. So don't hold your breath but interesting non the less. By the way, it is listed as NJT contributing to the funding of the project.
You might be interested in taking a look at it. It is fairly lengthy and takes a while to open (in PDF). The stuff relating to NEC improvements is in the pages in the 20's.
