Trains have long been the subject for famous singer song writers. “Locomotive Breath” (Jethro Tull), “Train Kept a Rolling “(Aerosmith), Marrakesh Express (Crosby Stills, Nash and Young) to name a few. There are also hundreds of movies involving trains and the railroad. Some of them depicting the romanticism of the train, others painting a different picture.  Many hard working commuters depend on the train to get to and from work every day.  For homeowners thinking about putting their homes up for sale and buyers looking to purchase a home in Easton, MA (or other cities and towns serviced along the rail line), the questions of where the rail bed is in relation to the home and is the train coming to town are always asked. These questions stir many different opinions.  Discussions of reviving train service in Easton, MA have been brewing for many years with the MBTA’s desire to expand train service to the South Coast. Two recent articles, one from the Boston Globe and the other from the Brockton Enterprise, seem to indicate the prospect of the train rolling through Easton, MA is looking less likely to occur. The articles can be found at:
