Healey, officials hail Fairmount electrification approval at Morton Street station event

A bevy of elected officials led by Gov. Healey visited the Morton Street station on the Fairmount Line Tuesday morning to hail a state-approved plan to spend $54 million to introduce a new battery-powered electric train propulsion system along the corridor by 2028.


Healey marked the move as historic, and MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng said it was slated to be the model for commuter rail lines of the future.


“We’re proud to say from South Station to Dorchester to Mattapan and to Hyde Park will be the first commuter rail line in Massachusetts to provide 100 percent electric train service,” said Healey. “That is a big, big deal. It’s long talked about by neighbors and we’re finally doing it. And we’re starting this in communities that need it and deserve it first.”
