I know there's a post buried somewhere on this forum about a potential light-rail extension north from Rt 16 (assuming TIP status holds). Anyone have an idea where I can find or help with the following:
What's the condition of the NH Main ROW up to Woburn? 2-track/4-track? Where are the problem spots if the MBTA wanted to pump the GL up in a modern-day D-style service expansion as far as Woburn?
Is that begging the same system-wide problems that occurred with the highland branch extension (and to some extent, messy scheduling circumstances that still govern Green Line ops)? Is Woburn trip even reasonably feasible (commute time) with light-rail or would a heavy-rail conversion have to eat up GLX at some distant point in the future?
