SPRINGFIELD — Both U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and GOP challenger John Deaton voiced support Thursday for east-west rail, the long-held dream of improving passenger service from Pittsfield and Springfield east to Boston.
It might have been the only thing they agreed upon during a testy hourlong debate, the second debate that had Warren calling out Deaton’s support for, and support from, the cryptocurrency industry and Deaton making veiled and then overt references to Warren’s claims of Native heritage.
