Almost 2.5 hours could be cut from the travel time of Amtrak’s Montreal-New York City train service, which could move its operations to Lucien L’Allier station from Central Station, according to a plan put forward by New York state last week.Love it, because I could get to meetings with my corporate masters more quickly. Something puzzling, though:
Quebec and New York have ruled out building a much-discussed high-speed Mont-real-New York City train, saying the multibillion-dollar project, which would require new tracks, is too expensive.But a Boston-to-Montreal high-speed route apparently is under consideration. We're starved for rail service, so every bit helps. But it sounds like a case of filet for Vermont, scrapple for the North Country.
