The only way the station could be saved is either subsidizing more services (such as Amtrak and/or forming a dedicated RI regional rail authority) or rezoning the area around the station for dense mixed-use development to actually promote the station as an actual destination for transit riders. Amtrak cannot use Wickford Junction since the siding is isolated from the NEC and is also unelectrified. The rezoning of the area around the station would be nearly impossible considering the NIMBY factor. Either way, it would take a long time and a lot of money to make the station viable.
