editDid the Southwest Corridor come about by taking homes by eminent domain, or was the land unused at the time? If the former, in what year did that happen? JNW2 23:44, 1 September 2007 (UTC)
- I believe it was partly eminent domain and partly excess railroad land. I don't know when it was done. --NE2 05:54, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
- It was not "excess railroad land", it was the Boston and Providence Mainline / New Haven Railroad Shore Line... Prior to the current corridor's construction a four-track (only three used) railroad embankment was there. The land around the railroad was taken for the highway, then used to put the railroad in an open cut with two new Orange Line tracks.--71.124.173.134 01:14, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
