The New York New Haven and Hartford Railroad proposes a four tracked tunnel to link the Boston and Maine lines with the New Haven system under the city. Plans include a Summer Street subway from Dewey Square to Dorchester with underground exits. Estimated cost about 50 million dollars and three years to complete. Electrification of both railroads would be required. Governor Foss supports the plan if the New Haven takes a 50 year lease of the B and M.
