Boston-Albany main line:
- 60 min headways to Albany
- 30 min headways to Springfield
- 15 min headways to Worcester
#TrainTwitter goals
This would almost certainly require adding track to the line so that freight service doesn't get throttled

I didn't mention in first tweet but this also presumes electrification of the line and switch to MUs for passenger trains

Rehab branches to Lower Falls (Newton/Wellesley), Saxonville (connection to Shopper's World in Framingham!), for passenger service

Also, direct connection to Logan Airport via Grand Junction Line--very high priority, prob higher than aforementioned branch lines

Not sure how well electrifying the line would work with double-stack freight...any examples of double-stack under catenary wire?

Yeah, it's single track over the Berkshires.

it's double track between Pittsfield and Springfield, idk between Pittsfield and Albany

That's where the single track section is, unless things have changed since 2010.

I believe you, I just haven't checked the area for myself
