Maura Healey told MassLive reporters last week that she wants to move forward 'as quickly as possible' with plans for new intercity passenger train service from Boston to Worcester, Springfield and Pittsfield. The plan has the support of local politicians, Amtrak and CSX Transportation, which owns a portion of the route. The project would add two daily Amtrak trains , complementing the existing daily Lake Shore Limited, a long-distance train between Boston and Chicago, according to a December 2022 Massachusetts Department of Transportation press release.
