Woonsocket has
recently partnered with the
Providence Foundation and the RI
Association of Railroad Passengers
for the next phase of bringing rail
to the region. Under a new
Planning Challenge Grant, a rail
study will be completed that focuses
in on the commuter rail potential of
the P&W line from Woonsocket to
Warwick. This next phase will look
closer at the possibility of
commuter rail between Woonsocket all
the way down to the airport, via the
Warwick Intermodal Station, with the
opportunity to connect to Boston via
the envisioned MBTA stop in
Pawtucket/Central Falls.
