Remarks & Notes

The Saturday-only 8:32 Northbound Valley Flyer to Greenfield stops in scenic Northampton. I caught this on my way to ski in Vermont. Glad I took the detour today! In October 2022, MassDOT and Amtrak announced that the Valley Flyer service had matched projected ridership and would be made permanent.

With double tracking, CT Rail, a new regional service, and restoration of Springfield Union Station, the Connecticut Valley line has become once more an exciting place for train watching.
