The Train Campaign, bringing back the trains!

We’re engaging communities throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York with a vision for robust 21st-century passenger rail systems. Our aim is to connect western Massachusetts and Connecticut to New York City with regional infrastructure for a sustainable future.

This 2-minute preview comes from our work-in-progress, a film about passenger rail revival in 21st-century America. Hear from Deval Patrick, Governor of Massachusetts 2007-2015, Eric Lesser, Massachusetts State Senator, and Richard Neal, US Congressman, Massachusetts 1st District in these clips.
