The Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line is approximately 50 route miles long extending from North Station in Boston to Fitchburg Station in Fitchburg, MA. There are 16 commuter rail stations on the line between the two terminal stations. The route consists of predominantly double track with the exception of approximately 0.5 miles of single track through Waltham. Eight grade crossings with track and roadway reconstruction and there are 28 grade crossings with new automatic highway crossing warning systems were completed. The wayside signal system was replaced as well.
