Boston Terminal plan outlined for union passenger station
The speaker details a proposed Boston Terminal Company to build a large union passenger station in the southern city, linking five railroads. The plan shifts traffic from Kneeland and Federal streets to Dorchester avenue and Summer Street extensions, with track realignments, street widenings, and a new elevated or above‑grade route to South Boston. The bill creates a five‑railroad joint corporation, funds via bonds, and allocates costs and tax handling, aiming for a twenty‑five to fifty‑year vision.
