GojiMet86 Posted April 5, 2010 Share #2 Posted April 5, 2010 I went there on Saturday. First, I took the Orange Line from Community College, transferred to the Green line (Cleveland Circle) at North Station. I took it to Kenmore to see Fenway Park. I took it back to Park Street, where I took the Red Line to South Station to get on my bus. I liked it very much, and Boston had now become my 2nd favorite city. I also saw the Silver Line, the Commuter Rail, and Amtrak. I'd never ridden a trolley (Green Line) before that, so it was a nice experience. When I went to the Navy Yard, I saw the remains of a train that once ran there. The subway cars had the 2 note ring, like the ones here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan Railer Posted April 5, 2010 Share #3 Posted April 5, 2010 The red line's pretty nice, and the ATC allows trains to go up to 59 mph, so that's not too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forest Glen Posted April 5, 2010 Share #4 Posted April 5, 2010 I tried the T last year. I liked those new cars on the Blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reelbigfish Posted April 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted April 5, 2010 The Blue Line cars are very nice. My favorite line though is the Orange Line. Despite ATC allowing the Red Line to operate at 59MPH, it never does. It gets very congested downtown because they are running at maximum TPH, which always ends up causing train traffic. The Orange Line is my favorite to ride. It is the fastest and most reliable line in the system. It also consistently runs 103% of scheduleD TPH as it is scheduled just below it's maximum TPH which allows extra service to be run as needed and reduces delays. I can't wait for it to get new cars in the next 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EE Broadway Local Posted April 8, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted April 8, 2010 I think the Blue, Orange and Green D Riverside Branch would be fun to railfan and maybe the Mattapan High Speed Line from Ashmont to Mattapan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
