Report: Severe Storm Would Inundate Westport RR Tracks

In a special report, Ctmirror.org today says climate change threatens Connecticut’s vital shoreline rail lines. Among tracks cited as especially vulnerable were those in the Westport-Greens Farms area. The report said “existing track from the Saugatuck River nearly to Fairfield sits low in salt marshes that naturally soak up water from storms and sea level rise, potentially inundating the track.” See report here.
