    hopefully this commuter rail line will be available sometime soon on TSW 2020 or 2021 and I would definitely by it when it’s available.

    I heard that the MBta commuter rail is willing to collaborate with Dovetail so that means we could see a MBta commuter rail line sometime in the future I wouldn’t mind the Lowell line or Haverhill line because sometime the Haverhill line transfers onto the Lowell line sometime.

    They’re planning on extending the Lowell line up to Nashua and Manchester New Hampshire for commuter rail service in New Hampshire I heard that a few years ago.
