Downeaster a good investment

Another report indicates that keeping the Downeaster is worth the money. MaineToday.com:
"The Amtrak Downeaster passenger train will generate billions of dollars in economic benefits in Maine and New Hampshire over the coming decades, according to a new study.

The study, 'Amtrak Downeaster: Overview of Projected Economic Impacts,' was commissioned by the Northern New England Passenger Rail Authority to identify long-term economic benefits in Maine and New Hampshire associated with development along the train's Portland-to-Boston corridor. It also examined potential economic impacts of expanded service to Brunswick and Rockland."
