In Westerly, progress for an upgraded train station, chugs along. Why there's new hope https://www.yahoo.com/news/westerly-progress-upgraded-train-station-090505429.html The Westerly Station is a Spanish Colonial Revival structure with an under the tracks tunnel built in 1913. It is within...

It is good that these cities are finally connected to Boston by rail. I however do not expect to see a large number of daily commuters from either Fall River or New Bedford. It looks to be approximately some 1:40 long ride. Not many people will want to do that regularly each day.

A small section of the fencing was down on Wednesday when I was there and I was able to access Waterplace Park using the tunnel under Memorial Blvd. I am disappointed that the former tunnel under the old train station that ended at the ice rink does not look to have been incorporated into the...
