Buzzards Bay Commuter Rail Extension Feasibility Study
This study examines the feasibility of extending MBTA commuter rail service from the present outer terminal of the Middleborough/Lakeville Line through the towns of Middleborough, Rochester, and Wareham to Buzzards Bay village in the town of Bourne. This extension would run on a railroad line that is owned by the state but is currently used only for freight service. The study includes estimates of potential ridership and of the operating and capital cost requirements of an extension. It also includes an analysis of the operational issues that would be involved in integrating the extension with the present commuter rail network, and discusses anticipated environmental and community impacts.
