Traditionally, electrification reduces the operating costs compared to diesel. The MBTA should not consider electrification nor battery operations unless they can demonstrate that it will save money.

Tourists aren't going to take Commuter Rail to NH to go to the state liquor store, buy lottery tickets, cigarettes, fireworks, go to casinos or hotels. Perhaps they will take Commuter Rail to a restaurant. And I don't think you need to worry about the second homes driving up local spending, it's the...

I like maps too. When I saw the line to Montreal it seemed like a "jump the shark" moment until I read "proposed future motorcoach", which actually seems plausible. Perhaps this group can use the freight operator to supply maintenance & operating crews and a locomotive, and a...

"get this domain" button. When you click it it says it is taken. Very unprofessional look for any website. Better to return nothing or an "under construction" type page. Domain Broker Service granitestatescenicrailroad.com is taken We still might be able to get it for you. GoDadd...

Isn't HRRC still embargoing the BSRM from running passenger excursions from Lenox? Why has this been allowed to continue without some sort of intervention?
