Has anyone heard of plan to restore the old Boston-Montreal route? Is it contingent on completing the border check room in Gare Centrale? And does anyone have recollections of traveling this route in the past?
 
Yes, there's a plan and I believe it's called the Northern New England Rail Initiative. The route would be MBTA/CSX from Boston to Springfield, then use the Knowledge Corridor and the NECR northward to St. Albans, and on to Montreal. I don't believe the border check issue was under consideration, but I could be wrong on that.

BTW, there is a push to extend the Vermonter to Montreal.
