@[email protected] when Eric first ran, we talked about rail. I asked him to support the development of the #HartfordLine and how rail needed a champion in the legislature. We needed someone to see how rail complements other modes. The #Downeaster does this well from #Maine to #Massachusetts.

@[email protected] in 2006 I started a group whose advocacy helped spur Gov Patrick to support the #Massachusetts portion of the #HartfordLine. This built support for the #ValleyFlyer. We now have trains that enable ppl to go from #Greenfield to #NYC. Most legislators were afraid of supporting rail. I spoke with the Chair of the Transportation Committee from #WMass no less. All concern was about a bus company's opposition's oversized influence.
Our bigger goal was #EastWestRail
With federal money available, East-West rail commission plans first hearing on Boston-Springfield passenger s

The Commission plans six hearings in December, January and February, including future dates in and around Springfield, Northampton and Greenfield.
