Editing Nashua, New Hampshire (section)

==== Future railroad ====
Efforts are being made to extend the [[MBTA Commuter Rail|MBTA Commuter Rail's]] [[Lowell Line]] from [[Lowell, Massachusetts|Lowell]] to Manchester, stopping at Nashua along the way. The state legislature created the [[New Hampshire Rail Transit Authority]] (NHRTA) in 2007 with the goal of overseeing the development of commuter rail in the state. The proposed line would connect [[Lowell, Massachusetts]], to [[Bedford, New Hampshire]], with the end station being near the [[Manchester–Boston Regional Airport]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.wmur.com/article/commuter-rail-proposal-continues-to-move-forward/12833473|title=Commuter rail proposal continues to move forward|last=Wheeler|first=Christine DeLong|date=2017-10-11|work=WMUR|access-date=2017-10-14|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Andrew Sylvia|date=2021-08-30|title=Pappas on rail expansion: 'This is a project that continues to bubble from the bottom up here in New Hampshire' {{!}} Manchester Ink Link|url=https://manchesterinklink.com/local-leaders-gather-with-amtrak-representatives-to-discuss-proposed-downtown-rail-expansion/|access-date=2021-11-11|website=manchesterinklink.com|language=en-US}}</ref> As of November, 2022, an ongoing study by [[AECOM]] and the State of New Hampshire for design and financing is due to be completed by early 2023, and the project is awaiting federal funding.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Nashua – Manchester 40818 {{!}} Project Specific Information {{!}} Project Center {{!}} NH Department of Transportation |url=https://www.nh.gov/dot/projects/nashuamanchester40818/index.htm |access-date=2022-11-16 |website=www.nh.gov}}</ref> Nashua is proposed to have two station stops on the line, [[South Nashua station|South Nashua]], which would be located behind the [[Pheasant Lane Mall]] just north of the state line, and Nashua, which would be located in a rail yard near Crown Street in downtown Nashua and would utilize the existing Crown Street park-and-ride lot.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Welcome |url=https://www.dot.nh.gov/welcome |access-date=2024-02-13 |website=Department of Transportation |language=en}}</ref>
