MURRAY LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR Patrick-Murray Administration's Historic Agreement with CSX Transportation, South Coast Rail Plan Move Forward Media Contact Agreement Submitted for Federal Review, Boost for Passenger and Freight Rail System Kyle Sullivan, Kim Haberlin, Alex Goldstein - 617-725-4025; Adam BOSTON - Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - The Patrick-Murray Administration today announced that the Commonwealth's Hurtubise (EOT) - 617-973-8093 comprehensive multi-year rail transportation agreement with CSX Transportation (CSXT), the national freight carrier serving Massachusetts, has been submitted for federal review with the Surface Transportation Board. Filing with the Surface Transportation Board represents another major milestone towards the first closing of the historic agreement expected in May 2010. In addition, CSXT has reached initial agreement with the Massachusetts Coastal Railroad, Mass Coastal, to take over freight rail activities on the former CSXT South Coast Lines being purchased by the Commonwealth, an important step in the process of bringing passenger rail service to the South Coast and enhancing local freight rail service to the region. Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray announced the CSXT agreement in September. The Lieutenant Governor had been working on this agreement since he was Mayor of Worcester and led the negotiations on behalf of the administration with critical support from the Governor, Senator John Kerry and Congressman Jim McGovern.
