South Station is also the eastern terminus of Amtrak's Lake Shore Limited train, which travels daily between Boston and Chicago by way of Albany, Rochester, Buffalo, and Cleveland.
		Boston's public transportation system, the T is superlative; it is easy and inexpensive and can get you quickly from one end of the city to another or from Boston to Cambridge or other outlying towns.
		Most of Boston was laid out long before the automobile, so streets--particularly in older neighborhoods such as Beacon Hill and the West End--can lose their charm when you're a driver frustrated by the lack of parking.

	Destination : Freedom - Oct 23, 2000
		Amtrak started out on a shoestring, having inherited a lot of equipment that was dilapidated, operating in the east on railroads that had gone broke, in part precisely because they could not support passenger service while also maintaining the infrastructure.
		Amtrak's operating rights on the corridor would not be infringed, said the council staff, adding it would be important that the plant be maintained to support safe operation of up to 150 mph service.
		Amtrak has already said that of the estimated $12 billion to improve the NECFP over 25 years, the states would be expected to cough up $6 billion.
