MBTA/CSX/Commuter Rail announcement in the morning?

Big news could be coming in the morning regarding MBTA commuter rail trains.

A press conference on a “transportation announcement” has been called at Union Station at 7:45 AM, and a follow-up at South Station at 10:00. Both will feature Senator John Kerry, Congressman Jim McGovern, and Lieutenant Governor Tim Murray, who will ride the commuter rail between the cities.

No word on what the announcement is at this point. On the surface, we’d guess more roundtrip trains are coming to Worcester, although the rare appearance by Kerry could mean that an agreement between CSX and the state for rail ownership is finally on hand.

We’ll update this post if we hear more. Check back on the blog at 7:45 am for a liveblog of the press conference
