Northern New England Corridor

The proposed 489-mile (787 km) corridor would have allowed passenger trains to travel from Boston, Massachusetts, to Montreal, Quebec, Canada, in about 4+1⁄2 hours.

In 2004, Congress extended the Northern New England High Speed Rail Corridor from Boston to Springfield, Massachusetts, and Albany, New York, and from Springfield to New Haven, Connecticut.

[2] As of 2023[update], there is no direct passenger rail service between Boston and Montreal.

Service from Boston to Portland takes about 2 hours 30 minutes via the Downeaster.

Service from Boston to Albany via Springfield takes just over 5 hours on the daily Lake Shore Limited.
