NNEPRA is still awaiting a Washington decision to provide some $35
million in track & signal improvement money to expand the
Downeaster service to Freeport and Brunswick.
Word has it that the Federal Railroad Administration will start
deciding whose applications get funded after the first of the year.
Meanwhile, the station is waiting.
As we discovered in pursuit of the Downeaster service, most good things take time...lots of it.
Thanks to Jim Nawrocki for the photo.
Exeter, NH, has just the opposite problem: Heavy Downeaster passenger
traffic but no station building to offer protection and ticketing.
Currently, passengers use a platform - darn cold in the winter!
It’s looking good – the station, that is.
