I believe Massachusetts is planning to have one train per day up to Quebec via Springfield & Vermonter route in addition to the proposed Amtrak Montrealer restoration. Ideally the state should fund and build the Electric option for the SPG-BOS East-West portion and then split Amtrak Regional with half the departures going via the Shoreline route and half going via the Inland route. The ALB-SPG segment should dump Pittsfield and offer a bus connection at Lee and continue on the I-90 ROW to the Hudson Line and connect into into the Proposed Empire Higher Speed line. I saw there was also 2 separate studies on routing a few intercity style trains along the Fitchberg line continuing onto Greenfield and North Adams and a VDOT proposal that adds another Ethan Allen Service to Boston via North Adams/Springfield.
