fixing source[edit]

reference 10 currently goes to a dead link. Citing things is not particularly my expertise but I found a working link for the same article named.

https://www.nhbr.com/n-h-commuter-rail-a-success-in-1980/ - that is the working article link

http://www.entrepreneur.com/tradejournals/article/183316586.html - that is the current link that does not work

If anyone finds this and knows how to properly cite sources on here that would be super great. thanks

dedicated NH extension article (Capital Corridor)[edit]

Due to the ballooning size of the Proposed expansion to New Hampshire section, I propose that most of the section be migrated and expanded to a new Capitol Corridor (New Hampshire) article. It's certainly a big and complex enough topic that it would probably be better served by its own dedicated article. It's also important to consider that it's a NHDOT project, not MBTA.

Given that the project seems to be dead for the time being, I don't think a separate article is justified just yet. A good copyedit would reduce the size of the section substantially. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 19:04, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the section definitely needs some refining OldPalChummus (talk) 21:49, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
