By next summer, you may be able to take the Amtrak Downeaster from Boston all the way to Rockland, Maine if another expansion of passenger rail service happens as planned.
The Amtrak Downeaster collided with a car on the tracks at the Brighton Avenue railroad crossing this morning while on its way to Portland from Brunswick.
A 'Great Dome' rail car built in 1955 is here in Portland for a month as part of the Amtrak Downeaster that will let passengers ride to and from Boston surrounded by windows allowing them to see New England from a new perspective.
