Another day, another banger from Ellis on the Rails. Love to hear my home state is making quantifiable improvements to rail service!

Thank you, Matt. Having looked at the map it lookalike like the Nutmeg State could probably benefit from two more north-south routes - one to the Berkshires and one to Worcester. Probably won’t see it in my lifetime.

Hang tight on the Berkshire line - Karen and I are working on it! - and I will get started researching the Worcester one. Could create a connection to the MBTA, which I had the pleasure of riding last weekend.

Prior to Amtrak Penn Central ran two daily round trips via Norwich between New London and Worcester. Schedules were times to make convenient connections with trains on the Shore Line (New York-Boston).
