Welcome to Massachusetts. The state I Grew up in. Pretty soon those MBTA or T commuter trains will serve the towns in Southern Massachusetts I grew up in. Including Fall River and New Bedford. MBTA called this project “South Coast Rail”. The Fall River and New Bedford lines split at a junction in Myrick’s MA. And there will be a transfer station in East Taunton MA. Continuing on the trains will make a left turn at a wye and join the existing Middleboro and Lakeville line. With a stop at a secondary Middleboro station on the East leg of another wye. That wye is also a transfer freight yard that transfers freight between CSX and Mass Coastal trains. This would conclude phase 1 of this South Coast Rail project. Phase 2 will be partially electrified as trains will join on the Northeast Corridor in Attleboro MA. As well as the MBTAs Providence/Stoughton line. Sometimes I like when people call these trains the T. Rather its commuter trains or Subway trains. After all T is for Train. And with these trains coming to Fall River and New Bedford, it’s a huge beneficial change. They’ve announced passenger trains coming to those parts of Massachusetts. But plans would become canceled. And now after several years of planning it’s finally happening. And it’s great for Fall River residents who will travel by plane from Bostons Logan Int Airport as when the trains arrive at South Station in Boston all they gotta do is catch a Silver line bus to the airport. And they’re good to go. And traveling from Fall River and New Bedford by train will be so much easier as they won’t need to put up with so much traffic. Boston is tricky to drive in. I can’t wait till those T commuter trains start serving FR and NB. And when I take a trip there, I can experience my first ride on a T commuter train.
Thank you for the great information. I am all in favor of expanding public transportation. You’re definitely right about Boston being a pain to drive and so anything to eliminate that drive would be a welcome.
Nice location and capture. Interesting yellow locomotive. Well done🙂
Thanks, Dom!
