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?

IIRC, that would impact container traffic since I don't think you can run double stacks with catenary.
-
I was wondering about this--in which case you'd need fully parallel freight and passenger tracks, no sharing

nice, but I doubt there's anywhere near that demand

I think there is...moreover, induced demand is in play here (how many ppl don't make the trip bc too much hassle?)
