I work for MBCR. I was the cleaner out in Rockport, and I liked it, but I just lived too far away. Rockport is such a dead town! Idk how people live there!
@Trainlover4ever2006 It depends. On this line during rush hour they may depart every hour or more. Some lines are busier than others. During the weekend departures are few and far between. Check the MBTA for scheduals.
At least they probably run on time there. The nationwide passenger service in the US- Amtrak is always running late because of freight trains clogging up the tracks. Amtrak hardly owns any track so they have to do what the freight dispatchers say which is often wait in the siding for 30 mins while a freight train passes. Ha ha. I went to Switzerland last summer and it was weird having the trains arrive when they were supposed to.
Shame for Amtral that must be so annoying having to watch a frieght train go buy for like 10 minutes rofl... The trains run relatively on time here but theres always signalling problems or some stupid excuse :)
The Swiss (Switzerland) are pretty unique in that almost all of their services seem to have been perfected hehe :P
Good ole' Cockport!
