Balfour Beatty Infrastructure, Inc., joint venture partner Jay Cashman and major subcontractor Balfour Beatty Rail, Inc. completed the long-awaited Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Greenbush Old Colony Commuter Rail Line in Boston. The inaugural train journey took place in October 2007, when Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray and other state and local officials boarded the train, making ceremonial stops in five towns.

The design-build joint venture featured an 18-mile rail line, 28 grade crossings, seven new stations with 3,100 parking spaces, a five-track layover facility, two 3,000-foot underpasses and 14 bridges. State transportation officials expect that the line will eventually carry about 8,600 customers every weekday.
