Yankee Doodle<p>Food for thought:</p><p>Why not build the long sought rail connection between Boston’s South and North Stations — finally connecting Amtrak’s east coast passenger rail service between Florida and Maine — not through downtown Boston, but through Logan Airport? </p><p>Hear me out: </p><p>Building the Ted Williams Tunnel (Mass Pike/I-90 extension) consisted of lowering prefab tunnel sections to the bottom of Boston Harbor. The Central Artery/I-93 depression (Tip O’Neill Tunnel) required constructing a tunnel in-place after massive utility relocation and while supporting existing infrastructure above — far more complex, far more expensive.</p><p>A direct South/North Station connection downtown follows the Central Artery method. Connecting the link through Logan Airport would involve harbor tunnels.</p><p>It’s a longer connection, sure, but it may prove less expensive. And Logan Airport could use a direct rail connection. </p><p><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Boston" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Boston</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Amtrak" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amtrak</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SouthStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SouthStation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/NorthStation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthStation</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BostonRailLink" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BostonRailLink</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/LoganAirport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LoganAirport</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CivilEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CivilEngineering</span></a></p>
