Decision Denies Rail Road Right To Stop All Passenger Service
The State Public Utility Division denies a petition by New Haven Railroad to discontinue all passenger service on the Bristol to Providence line. The decision allows a later petition to trim off peak trips and cites intertwined finances with the PW and B line, aging equipment, bus competition, and neglected operations as factors. It warns that stopping midday trains could threaten regional transportation and freight service, and notes a duty to public interests.
