New Hampshire Executive Council OKs start of Capitol Corridor design
The prospect of bringing commuter rail service to the Capitol Corridor between Lowell, Mass., and Nashua and Manchester brightened last week after the governor and Executive Council authorized the New Hampshire Bureau of Rails and Transit to contract with AECOM Technical Services Inc. of Manchester to undertake the development and engineering phases of the project.

Note that New Hampshire has been calling this the Capitol Corridor, which to me evokes thoughts of successful Amtrak corridor in California. Most of our posted articles here have been about extensions north from Lowell, MA to either Nashua or further to Manchester. The namesake state capital is Concord, so that would take the line even further north. I hope they do find a different name, maybe more having to do with New Hampshire -- maybe the Granite State Corridor or White Mountain Corridor?
