    The Rhode Island Department of Transportation kicked off construction Monday morning for the Pawtucket Central Falls Commuter Rail Station.

    […]

    It’s slated to open in 2020, and will serve as a stop on the MBTA commuter rail between Rhode Island and Boston,

    State officials say it will also function as a busing hub.

    I obviously have not been paying enough attention. I knew this was closer to reality than it has been in decades, but I still thought we were going to be talking it to death for another year or two at least. Wow, great news!
