Rail study committee envisions stations in Bristol, New Britain more
By DIANE CHURCH

BRISTOL — One day local residents might be able to hop aboard a train at a local station that will take them to Waterbury or New Britain, where they could catch other trains to Hartford, Boston, New York City and beyond.
The Central Connecticut Rail Study Advisory Committee held a meeting Thursday to discuss its findings so far. The committee is funded by a $1 million grant that Gov. Dannel Malloy pledged to rail proponents when he committed state funds for CTfastrak, the busway linking New Britain and Hartford that is expected to ease rush-hour congestion on Interstate 84. The grant will be used for further studies and meetings until the end of 2014.
The proposed railway would run from Waterbury to Plymouth, then on to Bristol, Plainville, New Britain and Berlin, where it would end. Each town would have at least one stop. Those seeking to go to Hartford could disembark in New Britain and board the bus to Hartford.
