its actually MBTA territory, not MBCR, they just provide the crews for the trains, but you have a lot of the info correct


im goin to fill in what i know

B735: on call 5 or 6am, go to Mansfield, work industrail park, then to Attleboro and back to Walpole engines lite

B726 gets to Attleboro around 11pm and does local work in the Attleboro/East Junction area then waits for B725

B725 gets to Attleboro around 2am, takes B726's cars bound for selkirk and B726 takes the Cape cars from B725, B725 is usually out of Attleboro by 330am and idk bout B726, id say 4ish

heres a site that has CSX info in the Boston area

B727 works New Bedford Tuesday/Thursday.
works Fall River Mon/Wed/Fri

B729 does not come to New Bedford and rarely
has. I can only think of one time when CSX still
operated the Watuppa Branch.

As mentioned above, B727 doesn't go onto MBTA/MBCR property normally.

B725 & B735 technically go over one short piece of MBCR/MBTA property, that being the diamond @ Walpole as the Framingham Secondary is CSXT and the NEC between Mansfield & Attleboro is AMTRAK.
