NorthSouth Rail Link

The North South Rail Link will improve efficiency, mobility & capacity throughout Mass., New England & the Northeast Corridor #Dukakis

[NorthSouth Rail Link @NSRailLink]

Yet another sad waste of BILLIONS of taxpayer$ on a Project that would
1) only have a 10yr shelf life 2) ensure future rail congestion #SSX #mapoli #bospoli @jonchesto

Hope springs anew that Postal Service could move to make way for SStation expansion https://t.co/HKLhmTmYDT

[NorthSouth Rail Link @NSRailLink]

BUILD THE LINK! #mapoli @NSRailLink

[Smart Cities Dive @smartcitiesdive]

Massachusetts's plan for intercity passenger trains along an existing freight line are "19th-century" thinking, @RepMoulton said. He also called on the state to advance a long-needed north-south rail link in Boston.

#mapoli Where is our transit vision for Greater Boston? @MassDOT @MassGovernor @MBTA @MayorWu @NSRailLink #RegionalRail

[NorthSouth Rail Link @NSRailLink]

@MattJMartinelli @jonchesto Some think NSRL is an MBTA project - though its ancillary very important effect is to unite the separated North & South side commuter rail systems it is as funded and intended as a **national and regional intercity interstate rail corridor project** #mapoli #buildthelink

@MattJMartinelli @jonchesto The Back Bay reference is adequately portrayed in the environmental documents accepted by the state in 2003 #mapoli

[Matt Martinelli @MattJMartinelli]

@jonchesto Yes - if they expand S Station, they need that yard. But if they do the more logical NSRL, they can store trains elsewhere easier (or so I understand from transit experts). But then you don’t need USPS to move at all.

[Matt Martinelli @MattJMartinelli]

@FortPointer @jonchesto 1. Would rather have NSRL than S. Station Expansion
2. Would like the Post Office moving and the road opening again
3. I think a new Post Office works best in Widett Circle rather than the more valuable land near Pappas

[Seth Moulton @sethmoulton]

Storing train cars in Downtown Boston is a waste of real estate and a huge missed opportunity.

Use #WidettCircle to build the North-South Rail Link instead.

It will ultimately save $$$, connect & create communities, and put us on the path to the transit system we need.

[John A.Businger @JohnABusinger]

@NSRailLink @jonchesto We are not the best and the brightest around here! To show that one person manes a difference the absence of Ted Kennedy, the prime congressional supporter of the NSRL and the co-sponsor with George Mitchell of Maine of the original funding, is sadly huge!

[NorthSouth Rail Link @NSRailLink]

“It’s a serious misdirection of policy because people don’t have an eye on the real solution, @NSRailLink”, said @JohnABusinger vice chair of the NSRL North Working Group (fmr Gov Dukakis is Chair)

“They’re pushing one without doing anything on the other.” #mapoli #bospoli #SSX

@NSRailLink @jonchesto Ugh... A colossal wasted effort that only invests critical limited transit funds in a literal dead-end solution. #mapoli kill South Station expansion.

Bring the #NorthSouthRailLink now!

@sethmoulton

[NorthSouth Rail Link @NSRailLink]

Why is the MA Democratic Governor supporting #SSX which is an old misguided and failed Charlie Baker transportation plan that essentially kills the @NSRailLink - NSRL is a project in the @MassDems platform! #mapoli

[John A.Businger @JohnABusinger]

@NSRailLink @jonchesto This sends message to North of Boston including NH and Maine, GET LOST! The North/South Rail Link is in the 2017 and 2021 state Democratic Party platforms - THE SOUTH STATION EXPANSION PROJECT pushed by Baker IS NOT!

[Rail Passengers Association @RailPassengers]

Members of the @NSRailLink Working Group (of which our own Field Coordinator Joe Aiello is a member) continue to push for the project and see a possible renewed interest as the incoming Healey administration takes office at the Massachusetts Statehouse.

Build the @NSRailLink, Massachusetts.

[John A.Businger @JohnABusinger]

@SecretaryPete Our NSRL WORKING GROUP chaired by Governor Mike Dukakis has multiple members in each of the six New England states and the North/South Rail Link is by far the most important rail projects among other worthy projects that would be part of the combined regional rail network
