Commuter Rail Overview
Commuter rail in general consists of trains running on tracks, in routes from about 25 to 75 miles in length, connecting suburban residential areas to downtowns of major cities in a region. The schedules and configuration of commuter rail services, as the name suggests, are generally designed to serve commuters, or people traveling to and from work.
