I've been wondering this for a while, but going through Back Bay station yesterday finally pushed me to ask: what's up with the track numbers at Back Bay. The three NEC tracks are logically numbered 1, 2 and 3, but the East-West tracks are numbered 5 and 7... Were there supposed to be more tracks at Back Bay then actually are there or something? Or are the Orange Line tracks assigned the 4 and 6 slots? If the OL tracks are the 4 and 6 slots, one wonders why they got numbered like that, rather than getting 4 and 5 and leaving 6 and 7 for the East-West CR/Amtrak platforms. Does anyone have any clue on this?
