New train stations and station upgrades are on the draw-
ing board as part of an upgraded and expanded "Hartford
Line" rail service, which will be launched in late 2016.
Trains will operate at speeds of up to 110 mph, cutting
travel time between Springfield and New Haven to as
short as 79 minutes. Travelers will board trains every 45
minutes during the morning and evening peak hours, and
every 90 minutes during off-peak periods. When all of the
planned improvements are completed, trains will operate
every 30 minutes during peak periods.
