By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
A long-dead mode oftransportation is comingback to life in several citiesin Massachusetts..Months of summer work
have begun to repair vital railbridges in the Fall Riverarea, part of the 120-monthSouth Coast Rail project thatis restoring 52 mi. (83.6 km)of commuter rail servicebetween Boston and theMassachusetts South Coast.The entire cost of thedecade-long plan is estimat-ed to be $210 million.“We are thrilled about the
three Fall River bridges andthe Wamsutta Bridge in NewBedford. These are solidinvestments that will provideimmediate benefit to theexpanding freight rail sector,along the same route as the future South Coast Rail com-muter line,” said Jean Fox, project director of MassDOT.“From similar bridge replacements conducted in the past,
we have seen that these improvements are transformational.They can change the complexion of an urban area quiteremarkably.”Since service to this area stopped in 1959, Taunton, Fall
River and New Bedford are the only major municipalitieswithin 50 mi. (80.4 km) of Boston that do not have transitaccess to the state’s capital and other communities.When the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority
(MBTA) finishes the 10-year plan that is already throughyear two, South Coast Rail will reconnect this economicallydepressed region, spurring new jobs and a kind of vitality tothe area that hasn’t been seen since its major textile factoriesand mills closed decades ago.The proposed South Coast Rail service will be an exten-
sion of the MBTA’s existing Stoughton commuter rail line tothe new terminal stations in New Bedford and Fall River.The route will extend from Stoughton Station along an inac-
tive section of right-of-wayfrom Stoughton to Taunton,then onto the active freightrailroad corridor fromTaunton to the terminus sta-tions in Fall River and NewBedford.The project will include
the reconstruction of existingCanton Center andStoughton Stations and theaddition of 10 new com-muter rail stations and twoovernight layover facilities.The new stations will belocated in North Easton,Easton Village, RaynhamPark, Taunton, TauntonDepot, King’s Highway,Whale’s Tooth, Freetown,Fall River Depot andBattleship Cove. A newovernight layover facilitywill be located in both NewBedford and Fall River.When it is done, a total of
approximately 42,000 rail ties and thousands of spikes willbe installed along the 14 mi. (22.5 km) of track leading toFall River and 19 mi. (30.5 km) of track leading to NewBedford.“We know that these bridges will be true enhancements.
All of the bridges are currently structurally deficient, so theywould need work anyway. Full replacement will help thefreight operator in the short term and pave the way for futurecommuter rail service,” said Fox. “For pedestrians andvehicular traffic, the removal of the center island onPresident Avenue will enhance safety and aesthetics, byremoving a line-of-sight obstacle and replacing the 1900-erastructure.
Railways Long DeadRail networks popped up all over Massachusetts and
became a popular way to commute and travel. The SouthCoast region was originally connected to Boston with railservice via the Fall River Branch, the Taunton Branch and

the Easton Branch railroads built in the mid-1800s, ultimately operated by the OldColony Railroad. The New York, NewHaven and Hartford Railroad leased the OldColony Railroad system beginning in 1893and was successful for many decades.In the early to mid-20th century, the
United States experienced an automobilerevolution and a societal shift toward auto-oriented urban planning. Interstate high-ways were booming. Private automobilesreplaced commuter rail as the popular modeof transportation. As a result, the New York,New Haven and Hartford Railroad encoun-tered financial problems. While theCommonwealth of Massachusetts providedan emergency subsidy to continue service to the South Coastin 1958, it was not enough. Passenger service on the OldColony line was abandoned in 1959, with the exception ofthe main line between Boston and Providence, R.I.The current one-year phase of the project is seeing rail-
ways shored up for the first time in 56 years.With the first year design phase complete, involving state
discussions with communities from Stoughton to Fall River,tons of soil samples are being taken over many months todiscern toxic content and other vital information. When thedesign phase is complete and the samples in hand,MassDOT will begin replacing four bridges — NewBedford’s Wamsutta Bridge, Fall River’s Golf Club Road,
President Avenue and Brownell Street bridges.“Brownell’s bridge replacement will be much more pleas-
ing to the eye than the current structure, as well. Golf ClubRoad had to be closed several years ago because of its poorcondition. The temporary access road installed just beforethe closure unfortunately provided easy access to tres-passers,” said Fox of the ongoing design work. “Trash dis-posal and vandalism were becoming a significant issue inthat area and along the right-of-way, which is not a publicway. In fact, no one should be walking along the tracks ornear the tracks at any time. Once this bridge is replaced, thetemporary road will no longer be necessary, and access canthen be safely restricted.”
New Rail CrossingsSome of these bridges have inadequate
vertical clearance over roadways, whileothers are in poor condition and have beenout of service for decades. DOT crews —with workers from Cardi Corp. and othersub-contractors, have been removing andreplacing these older bridges to supportfreight service while staging the area forcommuter rail to Boston.Through summer and autumn,
MassDOT, now under the supervision ofthe MBTA, is constructing grade crossingupgrades, railroad bridge replacements,track improvements and shoring up thebridge areas over major arteries likePresident Avenue in Fall River.The following $16 million phase of the
construction project will upgrade five grade crossings (threein Freetown, one in Taunton and one in New Bedford),rebuild approximately 10,500 ft. (3,200 m) of track inFreetown and install approximately 6,000 ft. (1,828 m) ofnew track in New Bedford. The locations are: High Street,Elm Street and Copicut Road along the Fall River Secondaryin Freetown; Dean Street in Taunton; and Nash Road in NewBedford.The project also will make signal improvements at the
Dean Street/Arlington Street intersection in Taunton and theNash Road/Church Street intersection in New Bedford. Thegrade crossings will be equipped with the latest safety warn-ing technology and will accommodate future commuter railservice.The estimated travel time between New Bedford and
Boston (South Station) is about 77 minutes. From Fall River,the trip is estimated to take around 75 minutes. This will bea boon for commuters who routinely take two hours to get to

Plans Move Forward on New England’s Largest Wind Farm By Alanna DurkinASSOCIATED PRESS
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) A Texascompany is pushing forward with aneffort to build a massive wind powerproject in Aroostook County thatwould be the largest of its kind in NewEngland. EDP Renewables, which recently
submitted its application to the MaineDepartment of EnvironmentalProtection, needs to get the green light fromthe state before it can begin building the250-megawatt wind project in northernMaine that could power roughly 70,000homes. Republican Gov. Paul LePage has been
skeptical of wind power development in thestate, but Katie Chapman, project managerof the EDP Renewable’s Number NineWind Farm, said she’s confident that DEPwill give the proposal a fair review. “On some things, we are aligned with the
governor, particularly with respect to energycosts,’’ Chapman said. “Wind is one of theenergies that can really truly offer a stableelectricity rate for 20 years,’’ she said. Chapman said her company hopes to
begin construction on the up to 119-turbineproject next year. If all goes according toplan, the project would begin operating inearly 2017, she said. The Number Nine Wind Farm will sell its
power to utilities companies in Connecticut
but many of the benefits of the projectwould stay local, including $2 million forenergy efficiency programs for residents inAroostook County, Chapman said. Chris O’Neil, spokesman of anti-wind
development group Friends of Maine’s
Mountains said there has already been sig-nificant push back among some residentswho are concerned about what impact themassive project will have on the area. “The consternation and anxiety has been
excruciating, particularly for the people thatlive in the affected area,’’ he said. The 132-megawatt Kibby Wind project
near Eustis, which was completed by theTransCacanda Corporation in 2010, is cur-rently the largest wind power project in
Maine and New England. But several large projects are under
construction, including the BinghamWind Project, which SunEdisonbegan building in July. That 185-megawatt project is expected to gener-ate enough power for up to 65,000homes. A spokesman for DEP said the
department has 185 days to review theproject before it will make a decision.Patrick Woodcock, director of the
governor’s Energy Office, said his officesaid he couldn’t comment on the proposal atthis time.

Railway Between New Bedford, Bostonto Reduce Travel Time to 77 Minutesthe city where parking also is at a pre-mium.The 120-month timeline, which
began in June 2014, held for two yearsof preliminary engineering and permit-ting, two-plus-years of final design,and five years of construction, with thetimeline subject to change.The Mass. house and senate author-
ized $12.7 billion to finance a numberof improvements to theCommonwealth’s transportation infra-structure system in 2014, including a$2.3 billion bill for South Coast Rail.The first year funding of $12 million isto secure data collection, preliminarydesign to support the environmentalpermitting process through the summerof 2015.
Soil SamplesIn some areas, the soil borings col-
lected reveal that additional structuralsupport from footings, piers and otheraids must be incorporated into the
construction design. The new rail routethat has been selected is called theStoughton (after the city) ElectricAlternative. The U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers identified this route as theleast “environmentally damaging prac-ticable South Coast Rail alignment andmode.”The agencies made such determina-
tions based on a comprehensive evalu-ation of multiple factors, including rid-ership, travel times, biodiversity, wet-lands, land use, noise and vibration,water resources, as well as visual andsocioeconomic impacts, which willinclude a new vital lifeline to threecities that desperately need a boost.An electrified system has been
approved, which offers many econom-ic and green benefits. According to theMBTA literatures, electric trains haveseveral key advantages over dieseltrains: Zero emission vehicles run morecleanly and efficiently, resulting inreduced corridor air pollution emis-sions; electric trains accelerate anddecelerate more quickly, resulting in
better commute times; and they gener-ally require less maintenance. Electricenergy that powers the trains can besourced from wind power and othergreen sources.When the project was announced,
then-Gov. Deval L. Patrick said, “southCoast residents deserve the benefits ofa reliable and convenient connection toBoston and points in between. Thiswork is another step in a methodical,comprehensive process that will moveSouth Coast Rail forward.”Patrick left office after eight years in
January.The MBTA is working with new
Gov. Charlie Baker on future improve-ments and South Coast Rail mainte-nance as the project will not be finishedby the end of Baker’s first term.For more information, visit

Track Construction Begins onHaven-Springfield Rail LineHARTFORD, Conn. (AP)
Construction of a second track for theexpanded rail line from New Haven toSpringfield, Mass., has begun, and com-muters will be bused along the route forthe next year.The project will boost north-south rail
transportation from six daily round-triptrains to 17 a day south of Hartford and12 north of Hartford. About $435 millionis available, said John Bernick, assistantrail administrator of the ConnecticutDepartment of Transportation. Of thatamount, $191 million is fromWashington, D.C., and the remainder isstate funding, he said.The increased number of trains is
intended not only to boost economicdevelopment in central Connecticut, butit also is part of a broader web of rail lineexpansions between Springfield andBoston and north to Vermont andMontreal.“It puts Hartford right in the middle of
this great rail infrastructure,” Bernicksaid. “It’s huge. When you discuss itwith businesses, their eyes really lightup. It all starts right now with this criticaltrack bed.”The rail line in Connecticut is current-
ly split between single and double track.Funding would add double track andupgrade stations in Berlin, Hartford,Meriden and Wallingford, Bernick said.
The Connecticut portion of the projectfrom North Haven to Windsor is expect-ed to be completed by 2017.Democratic Gov. Dannel P. Malloy
told U.S. Transportation SecretaryAnthony Foxx in May that Amtrak,which runs trains along the route, has“impeded Connecticut’s ability to costeffectively manage” the project. He saidit was “grossly over budget and signifi-cantly behind schedule.” The openingdate had been moved from late 2016,and the cost increased to $615 millionfrom $365 million, he said in a letter.Amtrak said in a statement that rail
officials have a “different view of the cir-cumstances” but share Malloy’s “desireto effectively advance the improve-ments” to the New Haven-Springfieldcorridor.Malloy’s proposal to revamp trans-
portation, including rail, highway andConnecticut’s ports, dovetails withPresident Barack Obama’s efforts toincrease funding for high-speed rail andintra-city rail transportation. The NewEngland plan is to connect the region’sstates with Canada and, using Metro-North Railroad in the south, to NewYork City.

Materials Dumped Into Long Island Sound Spur DebateBy Stephen SingerASSOCIATED PRESS
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A long-sim-mering dispute over dumping dredged mate-rials from rivers and harbors into LongIsland Sound has flared up again with a newfederal plan to govern disposal sites. Connecticut backs the disposal of materi-
als in designated areas while New York stateand environmental activists are calling forthe reuse of sediments. Four sites in theSound are used for disposal, with two set toclose by April unless a management plan isapproved, said Jean Brochi, a Long IslandSound project manager of the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency. Citizens Campaign for the Environment
supports dredging and improved access towaterways, saying dredged material can beused to rebuild wetlands, restore beaches or
supplement cement. But some sediment ispolluted with pesticides, heavy metals andtoxic chemicals, said Adrienne Esposito,executive director. “Using Long Island Sound as a dumping
ground is a lazy way out,'” she said. Silt, sediment and other materials flow
with rivers —mostly in Connecticut —clog-ging waterways and harbors where theyempty. The channels and harbors must bedredged periodically to remain open for nav-igation. The New York departments of State and
Environmental Conservation told the ArmyCorps of Engineers in a July 10 letter that theLong Island Sound Dredged MaterialManagement Plan “appears to be focused”on use of Long Island Sound under the cur-rent status quo as an open water waste dis-posal facility.” The goal was to reduce oreliminate the use of open water disposal, the
two agencies said. Brian Thompson, an official at the
Connecticut Department of Energy andEnvironmental Protection, said areas wherematerials are dumped are capped by cleanmaterial. “Connecticut is comfortable and confi-
dent in the management of materials at openwaters disposal sites,” said Thompson,director of the agency’s office of Long IslandSound programs. “We have many years ofdata demonstrating it’s been an effectivemanagement measure.”Long Island has more sand that can be
reused for beaches than does Connecticut,officials here say. Federal officials are recommending “ben-
eficial uses” of dredged material be consid-ered, Brochi said, but cautions that is “easiersaid than done.” Joseph Salvatore, dredge coordinator of
Connecticut’s Department of Transportation,said the state has reused dredged materialfrom the Connecticut River ferry at RockyHill to cap a landfill, and dredged materialfrom Patchogue River in Westbrook andClinton Harbor has been used to replenishareas of Hammonasset Beach State Park. And plans are in the works to do the same
next year for 600,000 cu. yds. (458,732 cum) of dredged material from the HousatonicRiver, he said. The state has financed more than $20 mil-
lion in bond funding over five years fordredging, Salvatore said. Public hearings on the dredging plan are
set for late August in Connecticut and LongIsland.
