在50多年后，机组人员即将完成2000万美元的波士顿着陆站的实质性完成，该站将把通勤铁路服务返回到布莱顿的波士顿社区。波士顿NB开发小组开发总监Keith Craig说：“我们正在进入最终的轨道，信号和检查。”
The unique construction-manager-at-risk project began in October 2015 and the station is scheduled to open in May. NB Development Group is the developer of the station that was designed by STV with Skanska USA Civil serving as the contractor.
由运动制造商New Balance资助的2000万美元的公私电台项目被认为是公共基础设施的典范。新的火车停靠站位于New Balance靠近5亿美元附近的一个服务不足的社区的伍斯特 - 弗拉明汉线上headquarters.
“开发商，设计和建筑团队以及我们的DOT和MBTA对应者之间的牢固沟通和协调正在奖励英联邦的居民，并在Allston/Brighton社区提供了一个新的通勤火车站，这将刺激乘车率和经济企业和经济发展，”克雷格说。
附近的机组人员最近在波士顿着陆项目的13000万美元，295个单位的住宅中破土动工，由Elkus Manfredi Architects设计，John Moriarity＆Associates担任总承包商。
Mattapan手推车Investment
On Feb. 28, the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board was briefed on a plan to invest $7.9 million to fully overhaul its existing Presidential Conference Committee streetcars with new propulsion, brakes, and power supply systems. The plan would extend the life of vehicles for the Mattapan-Ashmont Station High Speed Line, also known as the "Mattapan trolley."
This investment over the next two years includes a study of options for the future of the line. In December, the MBTA awarded CH2MHill $1.1 million to perform due diligence and review operations, track, bridges, vehicles, other infrastructure including peer PCC system benchmarking, according to a Feb. 27 FMCB State of the Line report. A technical review is expected by fall.
North-South Rail Link Study
On March 1, the Boston Globereportedthat state transportation officials began soliciting bids to study a proposed rail tunnel to connect North Station with South Station. Some transportation experts now claim the decades-long idea deemed too expensive to construct, could benefit from modern construction technology that could bring the cost down from prior projections of $8 billion to $2 billion or $3 billion. Such a tunnel would create a direct unbroken rail route from Maine to Washington, D.C.
NOTEWORTY:MassDOT has approved a year-long $950,000 pilot program for expanding daily commuter rail service from South Station to Foxborough for an estimated 190 passengers daily. Tracks would require $10 million in upgrades before the service could begin.
