Boston Surface Railroad: Worcester-Providence Commuter Rail

It just occurred to me that, to date, possibly the only persons who have made any money off of this zombie project are the admins of rr.net, given that this thread has gone on for 52 pages of ad impressions.

Oh Mark, I have longed to lock this thread lol, but yeah, it generates views!

Yup, In the same way that people would watch "worlds blankiest blank" shows on trueTv

Ironic that Manchester-Lowell-Boston (or Concord-Lowell-Boston) service is being seriously studied by NHDOT, and some group in CT even wants Norwich-Worcester service. Nobody has picked up the torch for P&W service or Worcester-Lowell service, and everybody wants the government to run and subsidize service.

Question: anyone know what became of their FL9? I saw the post where it's apparently being leased to Mass Coastal - but did it arrive there?

Boston Surface Railroad is dead, there's a healthy discussion going on about Mass Coastal right here.

That doesn't answer my question but thanks.

Anyone know the whereabouts of the FL9? According to google maps it's no longer in millbury, and I haven't found any photos of it elsewhere.

It's still there. A photo of it appeared on Facebook earlier this week.

Is it finally. mercifully done?

"Their" locomotive was broken into this week as well.

But they have 860 likes on the facebook! CA is expired, website is not yet being squatted or parked. Service is still suspended due to Covid, but be sure to give them your information so they can notify you when they resume their service.
