Fitchburg

The Fitchburg Line opened between 1840 and 1845 connecting Boston and Fitchburg. The line was extended along the northern frontier of the state before briefly running through southern Vermont on its way to Troy, NY. Traffic on the line slowed after World War 2 and by the 1960s service had been cut back as far as West Concord. After substantial investment by the state, service to Gardner was opening in 1980 but cut back again, this time to Fitchburg in 1987. In 2016 service was extended to Wachusett. The Fitchburg is the second longest line in the commuter rail system but due to decades of deferred maintenance the line suffers from the worst on time performance. Many stations are not ADA compliant and the line features many tight curves through the mountains. Until 2017 the line also had about 9 miles of single track segments which limited capacity, although today only a short section through Waltham remains single tracked.
