Description
Description | The project involves developing west-east passenger rail service, including preparing the Boston-Albany Corridor Service Development Plan. The goal is to provide two-hour rail service from Springfield to Boston, with initial train service extending from Hartford to Springfield, then to Worcester and Boston, and eventually to Albany, New York. The project has received a $3.5 million funding boost from the US Department of Transportation to prepare the service development plan, which is the next step to unlock further funding for a project potentially costing billions. The first train is expected to roll by 2029 at the earliest, following an accelerated design period and construction phase. |
