Editorial: More train service? They think they can

When it comes to passenger rail serving Greenfield and points south, the Franklin Regional Council of Governments is taking on the persona of the Little Engine that Could.
We’re thankful that the COG is keeping the plans for expanded passenger train service on some kind of track. Otherwise, the Amtrak Montrealer, with its once-a-day service up and down the Pioneer Valley, might be the only rail travel stopping in Greenfield and Northampton.
Admittedly, getting more daily passenger trains running to Springfield, to connect with other rail service or for people who work or visit, isn’t on any kind of express track.
