In other words, if for any reason a commuter train were scheduled to skip Attleboro and go straight through on 1, would he still only get a cab speed 80? Or would he get a MAS indication?The only situation that a train would skip Attleboro is if it were a deadhead equipment move to Providence. Our commuter train would have a Clear aspect (MAS) (**must be noted that MBTA commuter trains fall under the "C" speed category in Amtrak Timetable speed rules, stating that "C speeds"=90 mph, but MBTA equipment is limited to 80mph) both in the cabs and wayside signal...unless there was a train a in the blocks ahead.
