The program is an interview with Peter Cole, the President of the Maine Rail Group and Bruce Sleeper, the President of TrainRiders Northeast. The interview first focused on good news regarding the Amtrak Downeaster Service from North Station, Boston to Brunswick, Maine. The Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority has recently been awarded a $48 million grant to construct a new passenger rail station on St. John Street, between Northern Light Mercy Hospital and the Fore River Parkway. Relocation of the Downeaster Station from Thompson's Point to CSX's mainline will eliminate the 15 minute backup maneuver needed to get to and from the existing station on Thompson's Point. The new station site is further down on St. John St from the original historic station that was torn down in 1961 and is within walking distance to the Maine Medical Center and Northern Light Mercy Hospital. There will also be access to convenient public transportation to downtown Portland. Other good news mentioned included the 8.3 miles of double tracking on a portion of the rail line between Andover and Reading in Massachusetts, and $1.06 billion grant award to replace the 1930 "Draw One" Charles River Bridge to North Station in Boston. Our guests also talked about the ongoing effort to expand passenger rail service to Bangor and are hopeful that with the election of a new Maine governor some progress can be made regarding this matter.
