New Amtrak Berkshire Flyer Route Announced, Bypassing Connecticut
Amtrak has simply introduced a brand new seasonal passenger practice service, the Berkshire Flyer, will start in July 2022, and join Pittsfield, Massachusetts with Penn Station in NYC. The route may have a pit-stop in Albany, NY. That is excellent news for these of us who’re ready for the Housatonic/Berkshire Line to be restored in Connecticut.
The Massachusetts, New York, and Connecticut Division of Transportation have all been engaged on getting the Housatonic/Berkshire line again up and working in some kind, since Massachusetts handed a transportation invoice in 2014 to help the rehabilitation of 37 miles of monitor for preliminary repairs. Ultimately, in line with traincampaign.org, though the Berkshire/Housatonic line remains to be in it is conceptual levels, if the present proposal involves fruition, 8 spherical journeys a day between Grand Central, Danbury, and Pittsfield can be in our future.
The brand new Amtrak Berkshire Flyer route can be attention-grabbing for the city-dwellers who come as much as Litchfield County and the Berkshires on weekends. The brand new route will begin on July 8, 2022, seasonally on weekends in the course of the Summer time months. The Berkshire Flyer will depart from Penn Station at 3:16PM on Fridays, and arrive in Pittsfield, Mass at 7:12PM. The Sunday return journey departs Pittsfield at 3PM, and arrive at Penn Station at 7:05PM.
Based on the berkshireedge.com, a little bit of bi-state operation between New York and Massachusetts has led to at present’s announcement, and whereas the Berkshire Flyer has been introduced, it is Connecticut that’s holding up progress on the restoration of the Housatonic/Berkshire line.
We are going to see, for now, Albany will get the inflow.
