Re: Fall River/New Bedford Commuter Rail
Arlington: South Coast Rail is deader than the proverbial door nail
Charlie may not quite be the reincarnation of "Cap the Knife Weinberger" -- but he's not exactly exhilarated at the prospect of spending $500k per person user of the SCR -- the equivalent of a couple of Peter Pan Buses per day
On the other hand for a lot less -- Foxboro / Gillette offers the prospects of non-game day access to essentially unlimited CR parking
That's much more likely
Mystical/NIMBY objections to two tracks through wetlands (even though we know that Nature's problem with the rail is mostly based on length, not width, there is a acres-lost fetish) & political preference to take the same track-miles (plus more) and be able to draw a purple line all the way to the coasts for the map-optics
