Amtrak's Downeaster Has Been Running for 5 Years

By David Darman on Tuesday, December 26, 2006.

Amtrak's Downeaster train has celebrated its fifth anniversary.

In 2001, train advocates claimed the Downeaster would fill a transportation need by giving commuters a way to get off crowded roads.

Political leaders promised the train would bring economic revival to the cities and towns that it serves.

New Hampshire Public Radio's David Darman has looked into whether any of those promises have come true yet.
