What’s the current status of the Housatonic Corridor passenger rail project, from the Berkshires to Grand Central Terminal in New York?

Massachusetts funding was approved by legislature, 37 miles of track in Massachusetts was purchased by the Commonwealth from the Housatonic Railroad, and a phase 1 rehab project was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) Board of Directors. Initial work is the laying of new ties. Efforts continue to get the full amount of commitment from Massachusetts and Connecticut, and a number of funding options and arrangements are being considered.
