Thanks! 105MPH for Regionals and 120MPH for Acelas on tracks 1&2 at MP220 (which is between Hyde Park and Readville stations), so they probably go a little slower through Readville since they're slowing down for the 128 station
Yep, the longest we had to wait between seeing trains was 15 minutes (and that time was occupied with a Dunkin Donuts run). We didn't even stay for the evening rush either.
MBTA actually does have some Cab Cars with good K3LAs. I'm impressed.

Thanks! This was with my old camera. Check out "MBTA & Amtrak Trains on the NEC at Forest Hills", it was shot shortly after I got my new camera.

I know :) next time we're in Boston we should take the Acela down to Providence and then take the CR back.

Nice! I never saw bi -levels cars mixed in with the single level ones.

Thanks! Its actually pretty common with the MBTA commuter rail, they are too lazy to make all single-level sets and all multi-level sets.
The exception is the north side where there are no bi-levels so of course all the sets are all single-level sets.

@TNT314159 you know i was gonna say that or maybe they don't have enough bi-levels

Nice. I just wish freight lines on the East Coast were like that lol. Can't wait to film the NEC again.
