I recently subscribed to the Worcester (MA) Business Journal. There appears to be a railfan or great interest in passenger rail related issues in this magazine.
First, the state of Connecticut is contemplating establishing rail service between Worcester and New London. Read all about it here. Perhaps an Amtrak State Supported Train?
Secondly, the issue that arrived in my mailbox today discusses expansion of Worcester Union Station to accomodate more MBTA trains to Boston. Read all about it here. Right now, there is commuter service from Worcester to Boston. Inbound trains in the morning and outbound trains in the evening. MBTA would like to also run commuter service to Worcester. CSX wants money to improve the track and expand capacity. MBTA wants dispatch control. I think the T and CSX will be talking for awhile.
