R62A 1991 Posted January 30, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 30, 2010 Note to Mods: I think I've put this in the wrong forum. Can it be moved where it belongs? ...And taking peak-direction Commuter Rail expresses into Boston and out of it. We went well close to 80 MPH through the local stations. Very, very cool. My exams are over. I'm half a year closer to graduating high school. I couldn't come home. So, what better way to spend time but railfanning? We usually start at Southborough, the station my school is closest to, right? Pardon the guy's head. He did not want to move away. I thought this town had no people. I was wrong. Next up, Red Line! JFK/UMASS: Braintree: Ashmont: Mattapan, with PCC refurbished cars. We sped along this, took not even 6 minutes to go through 6 stations? It looks better than the mainline! Ashmont again: South Station: Blue Line! Gov't Center & Bowdoin. A note about Bowdoin: you get to be your own conductor since only 4 cars can fit on the outbound platform. Pretty cool. We're off to Wonderland! It was SO cold out here, almost impossible to hold the camera steady. Forest Hills : Some Green Line: More Red Line @ Charles/MGH: Me acting like a true commuter @ South Station looking at this: And, finally, night shots at Southborough again: I'm going again tomorrow, but not with the purpose of railfanning. Who cares? Maybe I'll take some more. I've covered everything but the Green Line C and E lines. Videos: Hope you enjoyed! Come visit, it's a small, but fantastic system. The Blue Line is the hottest place to be during the Summer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred G Posted February 8, 2010 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2010 Excellent cursory tour of the T and nice shots. Thanks for posting! Nice pics! And vid. If I go to Boston will I be able to survive without a car? Can I get to where I need to be in Boston by train/bus? Yeah, you can fan the whole system for $9 with a Charlie Pass that allows unlimited subway/trolley/bus/ferry rides and a zone 1 commuter ride(s) too. As was stated you can take Amtrak to Boston. Or you could save a coupla bucks and take Amtrak to Providence and ride the T commuter rail in. Or take the Fung Bolt bus up and save even more, also stated. At any rate, you can do some serious fanning in a day, even better in 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
