A plan to add a second railroad track to improve rail service to and from Boston was discussed in 2009. A second track allows trains to pass each other without having to stop. At that time a double track goes only as far as Reading. In 2010 a second track was added from Ballardvale to Lawrence using funds from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act.
