Discussion about options for the January 2017 fest to involve DC and Virginia is here.

 

Someone recently asked me about a return to Boston.  New things are in fact lining up, such as the Wachusett extension of the MBTA Fitchburg Line.  I'd like to do the Fairmount Line again since it has been improved with new and rebuilt stations along the line.  But having also vowed to return to ride the Downeaster when it's possible to do a convenient ride up to Brunswick and back, it still can't be done in the near future.    The round trip that was recently extended to Brunswick from Portland still requires one to either spend most of the day in Brunswick, or an evening trip mostly in darkness in the winter.  When all 5 of the existing Portland trips are extended up to Brunswick once the double track project is completed, then there will be some good daylight options for a round trip. With that project scheduled to be complete sometime in 2017, a visit in January 2018 seems very likely for us.
