Connecticut River Line

The Connecticut River Line (colloquially known as the Conn River Line) is a railroad line owned by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) between Springfield and East Northfield, Massachusetts. Freight rail service along the line is operated by Pan Am Railways, and passenger rail service is operated by Amtrak.
In 2014, following several years of planning and construction, the original mainline was restored to modern standards, with a maximum authorized speed of for passenger trains on the long straight sections of track between Hatfield and Deerfield. During this time, MassDOT purchased the line from Pan Am Railways. Amtrak's ''Vermonter'' was rerouted to the Conn River Line on December 29, 2014, with stops at Greenfield, Northampton, and later Holyoke.
Local commuter service is proposed to be added later, using either extended Amtrak Shuttle trains, Hartford Line trains, or surplus MBTA Commuter Rail equipment.
==History==

The original line between Springfield and Northampton was built by the Northampton and Springfield Railroad (chartered in 1842) during the early 1840s. While the line was under construction, the rail company merged with another company building a line from Greenfield, Massachusetts, south to Northampton. The Connecticut River Railroad (CRRR) was then formed in 1845 by the merger of the Northampton and Springfield Railroad with the Greenfield and Northampton Railroad.
The line opened between Springfield and Northampton in 1845 and by the following summer was extended to Deerfield, and then to Greenfield in November 1846. In 1849, the line was extended further north to the Massachusetts-Vermont state line, where it met the Brattleboro line of the Vermont and Massachusetts Railroad (which later became part of the Fitchburg Railroad).
The line became part of the Boston and Maine Corporation (B&M) in 1893 when the CRRR was acquired by the B&M. In 1983 the line became part of Guilford Rail System (which later became Pan Am Railways.) Pan Am Railways sold the line to the Massachusetts Department of Transportation in late 2014.
