These will run to the eastern fringes of the Green Mountains.

The train has a renovated “ski coach” lined with two-foot high cylinders to hold up to 34 sets of skis and racks to hold up to 12 snow boards.

An outbound train will leave Boston’s North Station at 8:35 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and make stops at Ayer at 7:09 a.m., Littleton at 7:17 a.m., South Acton at 7:25 a.m., West Concord at 7:30 a.m., Concord at 7:34 a.m. and arrive in Fitchburg at 10:06 a.m.

Service returning to towns will leave Fitchburg at 5:35 p.m.

The cost from Boston is $6, but Wachusett Mountain will reimburse the train fare for skiers. McKeehan has also lined up packages with nearby hotels allowing visitors get a deal on a weekend visit.

Jeff Crowley, president of Wachusett Mountain, said the MBTA put the line together only four months after his company pitched the idea.
