  • Ending Weekend Service on Some Commuter Rail Lines
    MBTA Logo, Charles D. Baker, Governor, Karyn E. Polito, Lieutenant Governor, Stephanie Pollack, MassDOT Secretary & CEO, Brian Shortsleeve, Chief Administrator and Acting General Manager, MassDOT logo March 17, 2017 Dear Legislator: I am sure you have been hearing a lot about the MBTA’s weekend commuter rail service and so I am writing to offer a brief overview about several factors that will or could affect weekend commuter rail service in the near future. As you know, the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board (FMCB) is reviewing the suspension of weekend commuter rail service as one of several options it will consider as it seeks to close the MBTA’s FY2018 operating budget deficit. The FMCB is now hearing from a range of stakeholders, including you, about that and other options and will not make any formal decisions until next month. The FMCB will be discussing this issue at their meeting on Monday March 27 and they always welcome remarks from elected officials during the public comment period, which begins at noon. You should also be aware that some weekend commuter rail service will be suspended beginning this summer for reasons that are not budget-related. The first reason is a federal mandate for the MBTA to install Positive Train Control on the commuter rail system. Positive Train Control is a safety system to prevent train-to-train collisions, over-speed derailments, incursions into established work zone limits, and movement of trains through track switches that may have been left in the incorrect position. In compliance with federal requirements, the T has filed a PTC Implementation Plan to the Federal Railroad Administration to install hardware on all commuter rail lines and two pilot lines (Stoughton and Lowell Lines) by December 31, 2018, with full PTC implementation by December 31, 2020.

    NH Railroad Revitalization Association March 23, 2009 Tonight's meeting was called to order by President Peter Griffin @ 7:00 PM at the Health and Safety Council in Concord. Attendees: Name Town Name Town Larry Ayer Nashua, NH Stephen Piper Dover, NH Gary Kerr Chichester, NH Ken Milender Warner, NH Lenny McGee Manchester, NH David Cruz Raymond, NH Steve Flanders Weare, NH Peter Griffin Windham, NH Bill Remington Concord, NH Dennis Grimes Bedford, NH Tom Noel New Boston, NH Jim Bull Windham, NH Winthrop Buswell Laconia, NH Mark Richardson Bedford, NH February Minutes The February 23 meeting minutes were approved as submitted. Treasurer’s Report Steve Flanders reported the organization's account balance. He also reported no dues receipts or expenses since the last meeting. NH Rail Petition Nik Coates and mark Richardson have initiated an on-line petition to be signed by those who support rail and more specifically the construction of the NH Capitol Corridor. The time frame for completion is not known at this time, but they are seeking 100,000 names and thus encourage all to sign and forward on. They have not yet launched this into the business community, but anticipate doing so within the next few days and expect to target 5000 people per week. It was suggested that it be forwarded to the media and political activists. The petition can be found at www.nhbti.org . Portsmouth Branch There is an initiative underway that suggests connecting Portsmouth with the Downeaster at Rockingham Junction via the Portsmouth Branch. Although this seems like a good idea to connect the city with rail service, logistically it doesn’t make much sense.

  • Appendix a Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions
    Appendix A Northeast Corridor: Mobility Problems and Proposed Solutions BACKGROUND EXISTING CONDITIONS The Northeast Corridor extends from the Boston Harbor to Merrimac, Amesbury, and Salisbury bor- dering New Hampshire north of the Merrimack River. The corridor includes eight cities, 24 towns, and East Boston (a neighborhood of Boston), including Logan Airport. In the Northeast Corridor is found the historic factory city of Lynn, as well as the maritime communities of Salem, Marblehead, Beverly, Gloucester, and Newburyport. Large swaths of the corridor north of Cape Ann are protected marine estuaries. The MBTA offers rapid transit, bus, and commuter rail services across much of this corridor. The Blue Line has eight stations from Maverick Square in East Boston to Wonderland in Revere. The Blue Line also has a stop serving Logan Airport, from which dedicated free Massport shuttle buses circulate to all air terminals. MBTA Blue Line service to Logan Airport has recently been supplemented by the popular Silver Line bus rapid transit service from South Station. Maverick and Wonderland Stations both serve as major bus hubs, though some important services operate from other stations, notably buses to Winthrop from Orient Heights operated by Paul Revere Transportation under contract to the MBTA. MBTA buses also serve the corridor communities of Chelsea, Saugus, Lynn, Swampscott, Marblehead, Salem, Peabody, Beverly and Danvers. Many MBTA buses in this corridor operate all the way to Haymarket Station, in Boston Proper. These routes use the I-90 Ted Williams Tunnel, Route 1A Sumner Tunnel, or U.S. Route 1 Tobin Bridge. Because these routes use the regional express highways, they are able to provide a high level of service.

This document is disseminated under the sponsorship of the Department of Transportation University Transportation Centers Program, in the interest of information exchange.

The opportunity exists to minimize environmental and social impacts of expanding rail transit by sharing existing corridors with freight rail operators. The purpose of this study is to evaluate existing agreements between freight and passenger rail services and identify issues, challenges, and best practices of shared-use corridors. This research includes an analysis of the existing literature, in-depth interviews with national experts, and in-depth interviews with local area experts in three case study cities with substantial experience in shared-use rail corridors: Boston, Chicago, and Denver.
