The F40PH-4C that was demonstrated at South Station is actually a rebuilt original F40 Screamer. To sum it up the 3C is a rebuilt 2C and the 4C is a rebuilt 1st gen screamer.
The plaza over Lansdowne is very new. They're still building it out, but it's going to be a whole tower complex over the track and highway there. Between local and express service, short turns, and the reverse running locals in Newton, the evening peak schedule is quite a marvel of logistical planning. Boston Landing is indeed a new station. I believe it opened 2017. The "Global Market" (actually Star Market) is a bit of a local landmark. It's just a grocery store. They built over the highway because there was limited space available.
@@rmorzy75 where I live in California amtrak only opens 3 of the four coaches they usually have as the Caffe car doesn't open the doors. I would have to assume that they do similar operations throughout the states. its a bit of an impractical system. Which amtrak seem to be attempting to solve as I know the new Venture Coaches from Siemens Mobility do this automatically and even pop out a little staircase

While operating from the loco, the stopping point is always the same, regardless of train length. Also, the trapdoors are operated by the conductors.
Actually the conductor on the train have to open the trap doors for passengers
On every coach?
@@rmorzy75any of the ones that open and allow passengers to board most us trains have multiple conductors that handle this however
@@therealburrito3164 So what if all coaches open, their needs to be 5 conductors on one train?
Wow! 😮
