Eagerly anticipated by passenger rail advocates, a study looking at the possibility of linking North and South stations should be ready for public dissemination later this month, Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack said Monday.
Gov. Charlie Baker has been skeptical of the proposal to build a tunnel connecting the two rail terminals used by the MBTA and Amtrak, but agreed to look into the project backed by former Govs. Michael Dukakis and Bill Weld, Congressman Seth Moulton and many others.

The plan is to publicize a draft of the study by the end of June and then solicit public feedback, Pollack said.
