Hartford - The project manager for the proposed New Haven-to-Hartford-to-Springfield, Mass., high-speed rail line says the project remains on track, despite efforts by congressional Republicans to kill funding.
John Bernick said Thursday that Connecticut is "still in good shape" and has already received enough money to launch service from New Haven to Windsor in 2016.
He said the state will continue to seek future funding to finish the upgrades up to Springfield.
Regardless of the current debate in Washington, Bernick said there's bipartisan support for high-speed rail in New England.
