[IN PROGRESS: Metro Centre Plaza | T.F. Green Station]

Amtrak has pretty much said they do not plan to offer service to TF Green, at least on the Acela service. The NEC is electrified - is there any reason why say Massport or RI could not offer their own high-speed, or at least relatively close to high-speed, service between the airport and Boston?

The rails between Providence (soon to be Warwick as well) and Boston are already at nearly maximum capacity. Providence already sees 40-50 Amtrak trains daily http://www.amtrak.com/timetable/oct08/W04.pdf

. Add in all the MBTA trains and there is almost no room to add anything else, especially at peak times. Walk down to the train station at 5pm on a Friday, the tracks are heavily used. Unlike what Metro North has going down in New Haven-NYC with 3 tracks, there are only 2 tracks around here: a northbound and a southbound track. On top of it, Amtrak owns all the rails here and would have to approve any other service. I think MBTA was lucky to get the tracks down in Warwick as this is where there trains run at the highest speeds.

Excellent! Where did you get these?

I can't believe how big the airport complex will be if/when the terminal expansion happens.

Little does anyone know that the current expansion that is going on at TF Green will be complemented by another expansion a few years down the road. Nothing official has gone public, but the everything is in the works at RIAC from what my manager has been telling me.
