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

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. There are established train tracks from Brunswick to Bangor

Brunswick/Waterville/Newport/Bangor would probably need upgrading tracks for passengers, but the infrastructure is more less in place for all 4 locations....a pretty straight line too, that follows 95.

Newport intersects 95 (N/S) and Route 2 (E/W)that pretty much goes from the coast to western, Me. This would be a very popular and important nexus to cover.

The new stations are a local option, but the stations already on the Downeaster line are very well designed by the town/city that it serves. The economic revitalization of the area where stations are cited have been pretty amazing, especially at the Biddeford Saco station.
