Here you go, from my own collection, includes the 1961 map and a few others as well.

As shown below, the coupler heights don't match:

The problem with the Boeing plug doors was that they had about 300-400 parts. All to avoid paying a license fee for a Duwag patent. If they had just forked over for that patent, they could have done it in something like 25 parts instead, and it would have been proven.

My understanding after talking with a few friends up there is that it would need at least some work at this time, as it sat for a while before they got it(it was operational when retired, but being almost a decade ago now, with no one really taking a deep look, there is little desire to power it up....

3424 is static for the foreseeable future. There isn't enough money or know how to get it running, nor enough interest. It's currently out front. The Boeings were amazing in their ride quality, especially at speed. I'd sometimes wait for them if I could when using the Riverside line. They tracked we...

Funny enough, the new terminal is much closer to that in looks and space.

Couldn't we put a dummy system into place - don't do anything but let it gather lots and lots of data, and then crunch from there? That way, you can simulate to heck and back without having to ruin commutes.

Not a lot of progress that I could see today, I know a lot of work lately has been prep work for the 75th parade that was today.

That seems rather ... aggressive time wise. But if they can pull it off, it will be nice to see a project actually done at a decent speed. I don't know enough about the route to know how realistic the timeline is, but it will be nice to see more service!

I think the answer is both yes and no. I know I suffer from this in a more extreme way, but we all go from being interested in something to not - in my case, I know it's very much a case of there not being anything new to learn, or the rate of learning slowing down significantly. Yes, the system has...

Hey tvachon - I've been thinking about the North-South rail-link. Part of what's really hard about it is the approaches - as discussed here before, they would be rather steep. This map is a work in progress, and I'm always trying to improve it. Eventually, you know, when I learn how to do it better,...

I posted this over on Reddit as well, and I'll put it here too - I've been working on this for a while now off and on - I call it, "Money is no object".

Preliminary guess - picked switch points, assuming I'm orienting myself correctly here. At least the injuries are not horrid, and no one died. As someone on reddit pointed out, this has been in the budget for replacement for two years now.

Alright, I figured I'd open this, both for my own gain, and yours! I'm interesting in getting, preferably in digital form, as many track maps as I can. I've already got the mandatory 1993 Commuter rail map(I even have it in hardcopy), the various RT maps from over the years, as well as the Hyde Park...

As I learned at a very young age, when the internet was new, don't feed the trolls! And our dear Ken here is, naturally, our resident troll. Seriously though, For Science(and proper discussion), what is the MBTA pension situation, or is this something that is either not public, or a little too far o...
