Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick and Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell wrote a letter this week to Joseph H.

"The states of Connecticut and Massachusetts have a shared vision of developing a world-class regional rail commuter service along the Springfield Line corridor ... It is our hope that Amtrak shares this vision," the governors' letter states.
