State officials on Monday said the 62-mile CTrail Hartford Line outperformed its first-year goal by approximately 50,500 passengers.
A total of 634,000 passengers traveled on the rail line during its first year moving riders between New Haven and Springfield, according to a report released Monday by the state Department of Transportation (DOT). That represents 8.6 percent more riders than the 583,000 commuters DOT expected the line to carry in the first year.
