Audio: Canaan, CT to Pittsfield, MA train service

Introducing Train Time podcasts

We’ll be resuming our interview podcasts as well as providing audio versions of newsletters, like this one. Links to related and earlier podcasts are below.

This show explains that the potential for a battery-powered electric train service from Canaan, CT to Pittsfield, MA via Sheffield, Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee, and Lenox (stops to be determined) and running every day of the year. This service would give people a chance to experience riding the train again, and serve as a stepping stone to full restoration of the Berkshire Line between Pittsfield and New York City. Canaan is just a couple miles south of the state line, and is a historic rail hub. Pittsfield already has Amtrak service to Boston and Chicago. This is the audio version of a newsletter that you can read here.

Train Time is a media project focused on passenger rail’s potential for making the world a better place. Please support us with a paid subscription or sponsorship.
