  • Making the Case for Expanding Commuter Rail Service Between Worcester and Boston
    AN INDEPENDENT VOICE FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT CONNECTING THE HEART OF THE COMMONWEALTH WITH THE HUB OF THE UNIVERSE: MAKING THE CASE FOR EXPANDING COMMUTER RAIL SERVICE BETWEEN WORCESTER AND BOSTON Report No. 00-1 January 27, 2000 500 Salisbury Street • Worcester, Massachusetts • 01609-1296 •Telephone: 508/799-7169 Facsimile: 508/799-4720 • www.wrrb.org EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The MBTA should introduce expanded commuter rail service to Worcester consisting of ten operations in each direction per weekday as promised in the final environmental impact report issued by the Executive Office of Environmental Affairs in 1997. That report projected that by 2001 daily weekday inbound ridership at the Worcester Station would reach 414 passengers. The MBTA's most recent ridership audit (February 1999) indicates that current inbound ridership is 917 or more than double the projected number. From these figures (which do not include the number of passengers returning to Worcester), it would appear that the demand warrants additional service. Furthermore, even under the new system of assessing the efficiency of MBTA services that was established in the FY00 State Budget, it is likely that the expanded commuter rail service between Worcester and Boston would be deemed economically feasible. Finally, the amount of commuter parking available and planned in Worcester compares very favorably with other stations on the Framingham line. (Worcester has one parking space available for every 2.2 passengers whereas Framingham has one for every 13.5 passengers.) The main obstacle to expanded service appears to be the limited availability of rolling stock (locomotives and particularly passenger coaches) that expanded rail service would require.

It is concluded that, the Blue Hills porphyry is geologically and mineralogically a single unit, dominantly granite porphyry, which grades into a porphyritic granite on one side. The Blue Hills porphyry becomes more aphanitic with fewer phenocrysts near the contact with the country. rocks. Textural variations correlate well with the topographic features: the higher the elevationthe more aphanitic the Blue. Hills porphyry becomes. The outcrop at the Route 128-28 intersection has traditionally been interpreted as a "fossil soil zone", but on the basis of detailed field and petrographical studies, it is reinterpreted as an extrusive facies of the Blue Hills porphyry.
