Orlando ridership of 93,184 for November, with an average fare of $89.72.

While the Watuppa line has a decent level of business, the Millis line is all but dormant these days. It's not clear how MC can breathe life into the moribund track.

I love it when the STB gets feisty: The Town and the Commission—of their own accord—set into motion the events that have necessitated the Board’s involvement while the state property litigation remains ongoing. tl;dr: By not waiting for the MA court decision and instead trying to take the land by em...

Add me to the unusual sightings but no pictures club. At about 12:54pm, I was enjoying lunch with friends at the Black Horse in Winchester and heard a soutbound train approaching. I was expected an inbound CR, but what I got was the MBTA caboose sandwiched between two locomotives in a push-pull conf...

Apparently I'm not the only one that gets a screen full of ads for women in underwear when browsing the forums. Needless to say, visiting the site has become a thing best done outside the office.

When I started this thread from an outbound Orange Line train 15 years ago, I didn't expect it to become the de-facto tracker for traffic beyond Everett. It looks like today is the end of an era (and possibly the most well documented end of service to any rail custome. In other places, I've seen pho...

It's barebones enough that it makes me wish I was actually in the room to hear what he said It's definitely a presentation designed to accompany a voice-over or in-person discussion. What does a Bottling plant closing in Mass have to do with running freight on the Mountain Division? Without being t...

I'm currently on 174 to Boston and we're holding at Old Saybrook due to fire and wire problems near Mystic. Looks like 2160 ahead of us is holding at New London while 175 to NY is chilling at Kingston.

To quote the conductor: "If it's not late, it's not train 174."

It's not that magical.

This is definitely a positive development. I did an NYC / FL round trip on the Star this year and some of the food was actually inedible. If a teenage boy and a man lovingly referred by his spouse as a "food disposal unit" can't it it, it's got some serious problems. Getting back to the tr...

As a regular Lowell line rider, 5 car trains are the norm for my train about 8 out of 10 times, with the other 2 being a four car set. I have to imagine that car supply is dictating this more than some attempt to adjust sizes to passenger loads, but one never knows. The real fun is when a 5 car trai...

Wow, this looks like it'd be a fun line to model. Here's something I've never seen, which is a protected crossing (including gates) for a garage door:

I don't know if they're talking out the switch to the siding for Plasmine, or upgrading it, or what. If I had to bet money, I'd say that they're removing the siding. From property records, it was sold to Benjamin Construction in 2020, and is now being advertised for lease: https://www.dunham-group....

For over thirty years of riding that line when in Boston, the only time I ever saw headlights used on the Red Line was at night outside the tunnels. I've never paid attention to whether it was all, most, or some, of the time, but I've definitely seen (from the station) the lights dimmed just before...

Every past study by Amtrak has shown the price to break even for a lay flat seat will be twice that of a regular Roomette sleeper which can be double occupancy Do you have any links to a study of this? I'm curious to see what methodology was applied. I have to imagine the lack of a bunk hurts lay-f...
