Exactly! Usually when I go to a bruins game I take the orange line in from malden. Which makes it easy to get out of the city but traffic is BRUTAL to get there. A few weeks ago I was going down for a game and ended up sitting in traffic for nearly 2 hours because of an accident.

I briefly worked for Pan Am Railways right before csx took over. I will say that despite being an awful employer…csx does a great job of maintaining track. It will be a while before passenger rail returns because all the track between nashua and concord will need to be replaced as well as signal systems being installed. All this will have to be done before trains can move faster than 10 mph. It would certainly be a great way to get to boston for sporting events and concerts without having to drive to the commuter rail.
