		GOVERNOR Romney's approval to build the Greenbush commuter rail line is welcome recognition that the South Shore needs relief from the worst highway congestion in the Boston area.
		The Greenbush line ought to have opened in 1997, along with the rest of the Old Colony system, which runs to Kingston and Lakeville.
		Persistent opposition among some in the affected towns forced delays on Greenbush, so the final decision was left to Romney, who did not make it an issue in the 2002 campaign and has other transportation priorities.

	Boston.com / News / Local / Mass. / Crews working on Greenbush line sever fiber-optic cable
		Construction workers on the Greenbush commuter-rail line severed a fiber-optic cable on the Weymouth and Braintree border yesterday, just as Verizon crews several miles away were finishing repairs on phone cables that other Greenbush workers had cut last week.
		Verizon officials have laid the blame squarely on the construction firm, saying the utility lines in Hingham and on the Weymouth and Braintree border less than 6 miles west were marked on maps.
		The town had adamantly opposed the Greenbush project and filed a federal lawsuit in 1996, saying the trains would ruin protected historic buildings in Hingham Square and harm the commercial and social center.

		The substantial additional cost required to construct the overhead power lines and to purchase electric locomotives could not be justified as it would not result in significant additional ridership Additionally, while noise impacts would be reduced somewhat, there would be additional visual and aesthetic impacts from the overhead power lines and their support structures.
		However, all of the bridges and tunnels over the Greenbush Line are being built with enough height over the tracks for the overhead power lines so that the line could in the future be converted to electric operation.
		The Greenbush Project is one of the transit improvements that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has committed to making as part of its plan to comply with federal air quality standards under the Clean Air Act as well as to offset the transportation impacts of the Central Artery project.

		The Fairmount Line runs nearly ten miles from the Readville section of Hyde Park near the southern edge of the City, through Mattapan, Dorchester, Roxbury, and South Bay/Newmarket to South Station.
		Not only is there no through service from the Fairmount Line to the Franklin or Attleboro lines; unless passengers travel all the way to South Station and double back, there is not even connecting service.
		These are in use in developed and developing countries around the world, and, given their overall operating characteristics, it is frankly disappointing that the MBTA stopped using them some years ago.

		Because the Greenbush Line Corridor component required additional environmental analysis in order to resolve a number of issues, it was separated from the other Old Colony lines (Main, Middleborough and Plymouth); those lines were studied in a Final EIR in 1992, and are now operational.
		Project Purpose As defined in the FEIR, the MBTA has defined the project purpose as expanding transportation capacity in the Greenbush corridor, which is currently considered “under served.” Transportation improvements are intended to relieve congestion on existing highway and transit facilities, improve commuting access to downtown Boston, and reduce fuel consumption and air pollution.
		Greenbush Layover Facility By far the largest volume of comments received on the FEIR concern the siting of the layover facility, within the Greenbush area of Scituate.

		He said he was forced to eliminate Greenbush because of contractual obligations related to the federal aid to the Big Dig and that the Sagamore rotary work to eliminate traffic backups is crucial to the Cape tourist economy.
