The Boston Surface Railroad Company (BSRC) was a proposed private commuter rail service between Providence, Rhode Island, Worcester, Massachusetts and Concord, New Hampshire on trackage owned by the Genesee & Wyoming and Pan Am Railways.
[1] The company was formed in 2014 by Vincent J. Bono, when it began a feasibility study for operating three trains daily over the route, with a single intermediate stop in Woonsocket, Rhode Island.
[4] By August 2015, the feasibility study had been completed, and the company had agreed to a memorandum of understanding with the PW for the use of its trackage and had submitted a safety plan to the Federal Railroad Administration.
[7][8] In June 2017, the company revised the start date to mid-2019 due to difficulties acquiring rolling stock and negotiating track usage costs with Genesee & Wyoming.
[18][19][20] It was revealed in October 2019 that the company planned to offer a preliminary passenger bus service between Providence, Woonsocket, and Worcester in February 2020.
