Even before CSX, the Shore Line route was more popular than the Inland Route. In pre-Penn Central days, the Shore Line route was the way New Haven RR trains went from Boston to NYC. Back then, you couldn't go via Springfield because the New York Central owned the tracks from Boston to Springfield. At least now you can on Amtrak. But there really should be a more direct route between Boston and New York. The 84 Corridor between Hartford and Sturbridge, Mass, would be the most direct and could offer much faster train service than what is offered now |
