The coming of Amtrak on 5/1/71 ended passenger service west of Worcester on the Boston & Albany line, but a few months later Massachusetts paid for the startup of a new Boston-Springfield-New Haven-New York train called the Bay State. With a former New Haven GP9 in charge, the westbound Bay State sped through Wellesley Farms in April 1972.
