Summary
A year-long study says a downtown Suffolk Amtrak stop is doable: sites exist, ridership of about 2,400 annual boardings is real, and a simple station would run $50-70 million. Catch: the full state-federal path takes 10-20 years, so the city may need to find its own funding to speed things up.
