Jim Cameron Responds to Mark Boughton on Danbury Train Proposal
Journalist Jim Cameron and former Danbury Mayor Mark Boughton have been trading shots in the Danbury media over the Mayrbook Train Line Proposal and study. Cameron wrote an article in February called The Maybrook Rail Line Study is a Waste of $1 million.
Boughton has been a proponent of the Maybrook Line that could connect Danbury, CT and Brewster, NY train stations. Cameron criticized the plan in his article, writing:
Rather than crawling down the existing Danbury branch to Norwalk and then on the mainline to New York, Maybrook trains would go west from Danbury and connect with the Harlem branch of Metro-North, then head south through White Plains and into the city.

Danbury Mayor Joe Cavo Defends Maybrook Line Train Proposal
An editorial piece was published in the CT Mirror on Tuesday (2/23/21) titled The Maybrook Rail Line Study is a Waste of $1 million. In it, author Jim Cameron makes a case that the Mayrbook proposal will not save commuters the time proponents say it will.
The Maybrook Line connecting Danbury, CT and Brewster, NY used to be for cargo only. The proposed plan would see the cargo trains converted into passenger trains.
Passengers in Danbury would now connect to the Metro-North station in Brewster, switch trains and take the Harlem Line into the city instead of taking the train from Danbury, to Norwalk, onto the mainline there and into the city.
