At this time, thinking about North Adams as a starting point is tough. But pondering Greenfield to Boston with connections for the state of Vermont as well as from Northampton, Amherst, Athol/Orange and Gardner is not necessarily crazy. Compared to the six trains a day from Greenfield to Springfield scheduled to start up this May, a train from Greenfield to Boston would border on sheer genius. I would tend to believe that NS would love to play ball with the prospect of track improvements between Greenfield and Wachusetts. Last but not least, the honorable gentleman is a lady.
