MBTA Commuter Rail approaching Middleboro/Lakeville

An MBTA Commuter Rail "Old Colony Line" Train #-004 rounds the bend as it approaches the Middleboro/Lakeville station. This is the southern terminus of this particular CR line.

Trains typically arrive 10 to 15 minutes before their scheduled departure time. (A nice feature on cold mornings!) Travel time to South Station in Boston is approximately one hour.

Unlike many other MBTA Commuter Rail routes, there is very little freight traffic that shares this line, so it usually runs exactly on schedule.

My friend and I walked all the way from Smith Street in Middleboro to here on the tracks!

@metalbynumber It's too bad there isn't a pedestrian path from the Middleboro Station to Middleboro (or at least, a path straight out to Route-105). I hate the way the MBTA likes to fence off and isolate their stations so that pedestrians have to walk way out of their way to get there.

@TheViRoCo But most of the switching and the interchange goes on in the MBTA yard in mid. but doesnt affect the commuter, and the 't' has its own trackage through the yard, so frieght wouldnt effect it anyway. I want to catch CSX or Mass Coastal in Middleboro but they usually are at 2-3am. But there is still some in the day. Nice Video by the way!

Actually, There is Alot of Action here, but its mostly at 2 or 3 in the morning. Mass Coastal Comes down here in early morning and late night to do an interchange with CSX, also, you may see CSX Switching cars around around 8-12am on Weekdays, and see CSX getting ready on Sunday Evening getting ready for the night job.
