What Amtrak's expansion plan would look like for New England [View all]

The national passenger rail operator's "bold vision" includes new service in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Amtrak says it could reach “millions” of new customers with increased funding from President Joe Biden’s new infrastructure plan — including some in New England.

Following the release of Biden’s plan Wednesday, the quasi-public national passenger rail operator released a new version of its 2035 expansion proposal, which includes more than 30 new routes and more frequent service on over 20 lines.

According to Amtrak, the plan could serve up to 160 new communities across the country over the next 15 years.
