Rail line revival push faces opposition and support
The rail committee debated reviving the Williamstown and North Adams charter to spend 2 4 million dollars for a through line from Rotterdam Junction to Duluth via Canada. Supporters say it benefits Central Massachusetts and offers independent western access. opponents argue the Fitchburg route already handles freight and the project serves New York capitalists rather than local needs.
