Framingham / worcester line

on the framingham worcester line, near boston, are there any all high level platforms? how about the whole line?

None at all.

With the exception of Newtonville, West Newton & Auburndale, all of the stations have a mini high-level platform at the west end.

The high-level platform on Track #1 at Southboro is temporarily out of service per an MBCR formeman according to CSXT Dispatcher Bulletins for the past week or so. (Maybe it got hit by an open plug-door by a westbound freight out of Framingham.)

ok, thanks

Thanks Corey.................I don't know how I forgot about Worcester. ( I might have been thinking about the intermediate stops only).

Worcester is not all high level. Normally 5 cars will fit on the high level platform. The remaining two cars are on the bridge over Grafton St. The clearances were a little too tight to allow a full length high level platform.

Also true, but in comparison to the rest of the line, it is closer to being mostly high-level.

Ok. I have only been there twice and thought you could fit a whole set on the high, although i knew there was some low. Now that i think about it, the 2 times i have been there, there were cars exceeding the high level.

Thanks dcm74.

Funny I should stumble upon this this morning on NERail...

the low level platform is mostly left-over from when the trains used to stop further down (before Union Station was restored and reopened). There's a little dinky structure down along the low level platforms by the parking that used to be the amtrak ticketing counter. What a dump that thing is next to the restored station, though!
