This is a long short,
In that 2010 report they cite "The Northeast Corridor Infrastructure Master Plan, Phase I Project
Development Report, February 2008." Does anyone have access to that report?

They were caught on camera - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVu9STfYEk4
The description tells what is to happen to the pieces.

I flew out to see the CTA Holiday Train and was not disappointed. They do a nice job!

What about Blue?
I remember those old Hawkers seemed to fly through the harbor tunnel in my early days.

The big dig made that impossible. The roadways are connect to tunnels. You would be entering 93 head on.

I landed at 4 pm on Monday, Terminal A and I was at the Blue Line in 10 minuets. Again the Blue Line is free right now.

Your speed will depend on the terminal you land at. The bus I was on, hit Terminal A and the two stops at Terminal B. Then it went straight to Airport with out hitting any traffic.

Agree with your point on Lynn. I assume the Salem discount it to encourage more to take the commuter rail since some of those 400 buses have to go through the tunnel to Haymarket? The T already announced that the 450 is being rerouted to Wood Island.

Blue Line will be free between July 5 and Aug. 31

The Blue Line will be free as part of the Sumner Tunnel shut down . Additionally the T adds that it's reducing the cost of a commuter-rail trip between Salem, Swampscott and Boston to $2.40.
