Abstract:

In late 2000, the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) designated the Boston to Montreal rail route as one of the nation’s two new High-Speed Rail Corridors. The designation was in response to a joint application by the states of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts that identified the desire to study the feasibility of development of a rail transportation alternative for service between the major metropolitan cities of Boston, Massachusetts and Montreal, Quebec, Canada and intermediate points. The purpose of the Boston to Montreal High-Speed Rail (BMHSR) Corridor Feasibility and Planning Study is to employ appropriate methodologies to determine if a HSR service is feasible within the BMHSR Corridor. To address all the criteria needed to fully evaluate the feasibility of the BMHSR, the Study has been divided into two phases. This report documents the findings of Phase I of the Study.
