Rail line plan links New Haven Northampton to Western route
A report outlines a proposed 45 mile rail corridor from Williamsburg to the New York State line connecting with the Boston Hoosac Tunnel and Western road. The scheme, costed around 2.5 million dollars, would create a trunk line to the West and challenge Fitchburg by tying into New York Central influence via Vanderbilt interests. Engineers may review surveys, with a conference of Boston & Lowell and New Haven Northampton managers possible soon.
