Corridor as designated by the
Federal Railroad Administration
The Northern New England Corridor is one of ten federally designated
higher-speed rail corridors in the
United States . The proposed 489-mile (787 km) corridor would have allowed passenger trains to travel from
Boston, Massachusetts , to
Montreal ,
Quebec ,
Canada , in about 4+ 1 ⁄2 hours.
In 2004, Congress extended the Northern New England High Speed Rail Corridor from Boston to
Springfield, Massachusetts , and
Albany, New York , and from Springfield to
New Haven, Connecticut .
[1] The Boston-Springfield-Albany route would provide a link to the
Empire Corridor .
[2]
Background
As of 2023
[update] , there is no direct passenger rail service between Boston and Montreal. Service from Boston to Portland takes about 2 hours 30 minutes via the
Downeaster .
[3] There are no trains to Auburn. Service from Boston to Albany via Springfield takes just over 5 hours on the daily
Lake Shore Limited . The
New Haven–Springfield Line already allows speeds of up to 110 miles per hour (180 km/h), with end-to-end service taking about 1 hour 20 minutes.
