Are there any websites on this project? I have searched quite a bit and have come up with nothing--seems strange that a project this serious would be carried out with no public information resource.
The state is funding it, right? The rumor, of course, is that it will connect to the planned container port at Quonset, but the Quonset Development Corp site makes no mention of the 3rd rail, and the RIDOT site seems to make no mention of the planned container port.
Pretty weird, but this seems to be the way things work in New England.
It also seems that P&W will have to buy out Seaview's lease of the state-owned Quonset terminal trackage (Seaview is another company with no web presence) to make this work--what ocean shipper would depend on a combination of 14-mile shortline plus regional plus Class I to move TEUs when they have direct access to CSX in NJ and CN in Halifax?
