Here's my attempt at adding Regional Rail and the NSRL to an existing map I made a few years ago:

A station in Lexington Center would be worth building on day one. It'd be the other potential stations (East Lexington, North Lexington) that wouldn't be worth building without significant densification. It's worth remembering that numerous multifamily residential developments have been built...

Is Class 6/110 MPH possible between Milford and New Haven after the fourth track is reactivated? Or is there too much train traffic for Amtrak to go over 90 MPH?

Arlington is more than dense enough for heavy rail. Lexington isn't dense enough to support heavy rail on its own, but it might still be worth extending through Lexington for a park-and-ride station at 128 (especially if the Red Line gets extended all the way to the Burlington Mall).

Do you know why the Walk Bridge replacement will have a 45 MPH speed limit? Is it because of the adjacent curve? 45 MPH is a lot better than 30 MPH, but it's still awfully slow...

Fuck everything about this. Driver convenience is prioritized at the expense of safety yet again.

Worcester leaders demand return of MBTA express train, signal upgrades Chairmans Report - Worcester MBTA Working Group.pdf

I wonder if there's enough room along the ROW for five (or even six) tracks between West Haven and Milford. There are a few spots where it looks like there's more than enough room for additional tracks... but I'm not sure if there's enough continuous room for extra tracks the whole way between...

Agreed. I wonder why the new Devon Bridge won't be able to support speeds over 70 MPH, especially considering the estimated $3B price tag... As for the Pelham Bay Bridge replacement, it was originally envisioned to support speeds up to 110 MPH. I assume the nearby curves are to blame for the...

Amtrak representatives to hold two community meetings on bridge replacement projects over Bush and Gunpowder rivers I feel like the Bush, Gunpowder, and Susquehanna bridge replacement projects have gone a bit under the radar. Once the bridges are replaced, the Acela will be able to go 160 MPH...
