Edit today, April 22, 2016 as the Denver's RTD became the 26th commuter rail operator in the USA. Moved to active list.

The next one from the "coming soon" list is probably  SMART in northern California.

Canada list in post #2 was edited since the former AMT commuter rail in the Montreal area became RTM on 6/1/17.

Edit for the US listing as SMART in California went into service 8/25/17.  There are now 27 commuter rail properties in the country.

 

My prediction is that the next one will be the Hartford Line in Spring 2018, however since it may technically be under the same agency (CT Rail) as the Shore Line East, it is really not a "new" system -- just the second line of an existing system.

With the start of Hartford Line, while it would be nice to incremement the grand total of properties by one, the technicality here is that both Hartford Line and the existing Shore Line East fall under the CT Rail moniker.   So they are considered to be two branches of one railroad, rather than 2 seperate commuter railroads.   Thus the total of 27 remains at 27 USA commuter rail properties.

And the RTM name lasted only 11 months.  The agency is now known as EXO as of May 2018.
