Connecticut Buys Rights Of Way For Rail Bank
Connecticut is assembling about 250 miles of railroad rights of way including Penn Central commuter routes for future freight and passenger transit. The plan, via the Transportation Land Bank, targets intercity rail, bus networks, pipelines, or future transport ideas while avoiding expressways. Most lines are abandoned though commuter routes to New York carry thousands daily. 90 miles of freight branches may be added if Congress includes them in a regional plan. The state has bought about 185 miles at roughly $1 million, with 40 miles donated by utility firms. Negotiations with Penn Central aim to close two lines, including a Manchester to Willimantic link, with title expected soon.
