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?

Replying to @380kmh
Okay, looks doable. On the NEC/PRR territory, they have double stacks under the wires, just a matter of structure gauge.
