This show explains that the potential for a battery-powered electric train service from Canaan, CT to Pittsfield, MA via Sheffield, Great Barrington, Stockbridge, Lee, and Lenox (stops to be determined) and running every day of the year. This service would give people a chance to experience riding the train again, and serve as a stepping stone to full restoration of the Berkshire Line between Pittsfield and New York City. Canaan is just a couple miles south of the state line, and is a historic rail hub. Pittsfield already has Amtrak service to Boston and Chicago.
