Back in August 2019, Amtrak have launched a pilot train service called the Valley Flyer. You can read more about the Valley Flyer on this link: https://media.amtrak.com/2019/08/amtrak-and-massdot-announce-start-of-new-valley-flyer-train-​service-in-western-and-northern-massachusetts/

Ever since the Valley Flyer from Greenfield, MA to New Haven, CT first launched, it made a lot easier for people travel to New York City.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Valley Flyer train was cut down to one trip a day for both Northbound and Southbound.

Now that all the Covid-19 restrictions and the State of Emergency have been lifted in both Massachusetts and Connecticut, keeping Amtrak's Valley Flyer permanent is a huge must because it helps small businesses grow and recover from the Pandemic lockdown.
