There is a proposed purple line that follows the Amtrak ROW out to Martin's Airport at least. That one is a bit more fictitious than the green line.

The TOD I was hearing about revolved around the area between BIDDLE and RIVER on the Amtrak Mainline.
I was asking because the "Green Line" ends at the hospital, but the state's own transportation plan has a station being built in the vicinity of the north end of the biotech park at the NEC. Has either Amtrak or MTA gotten on board?

I read in the paper that Senator Mikulski is seeking federal money for new rail cars and possible stations. Is the TOD you're referring to related?
