Build the North/South Station Rail Link
Build the North/South Station Rail Link!
Fill the 1-mile gap between the two stations in Boston to unite our disconnected north-side and south-side commuter rail systems and extend the northeaster corridor into northern Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine.
The North/South Rail Link will bring transportation, economic and environmental benefits throughout our New England region. Two dead-end stations should not be our future

Why is this important?
Boston's North and South Stations represent a serious gap in rail service in the northeast corridor and also do a disservice to commuters in the communities of eastern Massachusetts.
Although just over one mile apart, North and South Stations are not directly connected, making commuting between communities above and below Boston extremely cumbersome. Passengers taking commuter train into either station must then use additional public transportation to move between stations.
The North/South Rail Link project has been talked about for decades but remains incomplete. Undertaking this project to its completion is long overdue.
