What Amtrak's expansion plan would look like for New England

[OAITW r.2.0]

1. Disappointed with the plan in ME.

(1) There should be an extension to Waterville / Newport / Bangor / Atlantic Canada.
(2) From Newport, there should be a line to North Conway, NH and on to Burlington, Vt / Montreal, CA.


These changes would have a huge positive impact on tourism and connect Atlantic Canada to points South - Portland, ME / Dover, NH / Boston, MA.

When I head down to Stoughton (20MI south of Boston), I have a 4.5 hour drive to visit my SO. The Downeaster from Newport connects to Boston and I could take the Red Line or, even better, the Metroliner direct to Stoughton....and have a 10 minute walk from the station. Probably the same amount of time, but far more relaxing and, bonus, they have a club car to get snacks and drinks.
