New legislation co-sponsored by Democrats from the eastern Connecticut delegation to the General Assembly proposes that the state Department of Transportation study the concept of two new passenger rail systems centered in the region.For now, The P&W centric service is in another thread.
One would simply extend the commuter rail system now operated as Shoreline East beyond New London to the Rhode Island border, where it could connect with existing Rhode Island commuter rail.
New passenger stations could be added in Groton and Stonington Borough.
The two lines come together in Groton, where there could also be a station connection for transfers.
