BOSTON (WHDH) - The MBTA is planning to electrify the Fairmount commuter rail line.
The board of directors approved a $54 million plan to buy battery electric trains for the route.
The goal is to provide faster, quieter, and more reliable service – with less air pollution.
The board hopes to start service by 2028.
