Now if only Woonsocket could re-connect with Worcester, I could avoid all of the crazies on 146 every day. That highway is dangerous AF.

The restoration of passenger service on the P&W mainline has been considered many times, but unfortunately has never developed into anything substantial. I think RIDOT is studying the corridor yet again atm but I doubt it'll go anywhere

Really? It’s one of the better ones IMO since everyone is flying around 70-80, with some hitting 90+. 295 is also a good one too, except the occasional speed traps.

Many studies have been conducted, some of which suggested extending the Franklin line through Milford to Woonsocket. There’s definitely a rider base in that area, but much of the trackage would need to be rebuilt for passenger services
