Springfield Railroad Corridor

This project involves relocating a set of railroad tracks that runs through Springfield. A final route has not yet been chosen, but several neighborhood associations, including Pillsbury, Downtown Springfield, Iles Park, Harvard Park, and Springfield South Corridor have joined together to closely monitor the project’s planning phase. Additionally, several of the proposed routes affect properties or buildings that are on the National Historical Register, which is a significant concern for many local residents and organizations. The project is still awaiting federal approval, but will eventually involve a significant amount of land acquisition.
