- This is far too general a query to try to answer in full, but it's
- important to know that New England passenger railways are
- woefully inadequate; they really don't serve northern New England
- at all, and they serve only a couple of heavily travelled
- corridors in southern New England.
-
- Specifically, all we've really got is the following:
-
- Boston-Providence-New London-New Haven-New York: 9-10 trains daily
- Springfield(MA)-Hartford-New Haven-New York: 7 trains daily
- Boston-Springfield-Hartford(etc): 2 trains daily
- Boston-Springfield-Albany: 1 train daily
- New York- Vermont - Montreal: 1 overnight train
-
- Other than some local commuter rail operations centered on Boston
- and New York, that's it. Nothing to Maine or New Hampshire,
- nothing from Boston to Vermont. It's pretty sad...
