Haunted Forrest 🌲 added,
.@380kmh It's the ROW used by the Norwottuck trail now. I've fantasized about reviving rail service on it since childhood #TrainTwitter
I started thinking about trains running on that rail trail ever since I moved to Belchertown in 1998--inshallah!
do you think the route would be viable as commuter rail now? I do.
yes--but with the caveat that commuter rail *as currently operated* in Boston isn't viable at all...must be reworked!
what are your biggest issues with MBTA? I dislike the different fare structures for commuter & local trains - should be integrated
hoo boy...I agree about fares, not really sure where to begin wrt MBTA tho...
I mean there's a lot to love about @MBTA's great, big rail system. North & South stations need to be linked though. #TrainTwitter
their stations are mostly desolate, tho, their equipment laughably outdated, maintenance is decades behind...
yes they could certainly do with a big fat check for repairs. I'd guess big dig spending to blame for backlog #TrainTwitter
partly, but the problems go further back too
