  • 2011 Downeaster Expansion Overview
    DOWNEASTER EXPANSION PROJECT OVERVIEW BACKGROUND The Amtrak Downeaster makes five daily round trips between Boston and Portland, serving 10 communities in three states along its 116-mile corridor. The Boston to Portland service has been in operation since December 2001. Included in the original plan for the Downeaster service, but not possible until now, was the extension of service 30 miles beyond Portland to Freeport and Brunswick. Expansion of service to Brunswick is important because it will provide more mobility to Maine residents, increase tourism, support the redevelopment of the Brunswick Naval Air Station (BNAS) and provide a connection to the state owned Rockland Branch, which extends 58 miles from Brunswick to Rockland, the heart of mid-coast Maine. Although a capital plan to upgrade the freight line between Portland and Brunswick to passenger standards had been in place for years, the lack of capital funding to complete the project remained a barrier until spring 2009 when the High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail (HSIPR) Grant Program was announced. Administered by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), the HSIPR grant program made $8 billion available as a “down payment” on investment in our nation’s passenger rail system through a national competitive application process. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority (NNEPRA) submi�ed an application for the Downeaster Expansion Project, and was awarded $35 million. Under the leadership of Governor John Baldacci, the State of Maine agreed to provide the remaining funds (approximately $3 million) to complete the project. The Downeaster Expansion Construction Project includes the rehabilitation of approximately 27 miles of track between Portland and Brunswick owned by Pan Am Railways, and approximately 1.2 miles of track in Brunswick owned by the MaineDOT.
