Balfour Beatty Rail, Inc. was a major subcontractor for sister company Balfour
Beatty Infrastructure, Inc. and joint venture partner Jay Cashman on
the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Greenbush Old Colony
Commuter Rail Line project in Boston. The inaugural train journey took
place on Oct. 30, 2007. The project featured an 18-mile rail line with
28 grade crossings. State transportation officials expect that the line

which ended passenger operations in 1959.
