Episode 154: Mondays at The Overhead Wire - Dead University Line

We're Han Solo this week on Mondays at The Overhead Wire but that doesn't stop us from covering a lot of ground from the last several weeks. We chat about how climate change could impact infrastructure building, the death of Houston's University Line, and Boston's commuter rail ridership success compared to before the pandemic. We cover a lot more but listen in to find out!
