    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    Any idea what this means? Are they talking about the JFK-Harrison square split point or possible express tracks? Also unrelated, what are the odds the new blue line trains have either CBTC or at least walkthrough trains (since it’s the global standard at this point)?

    B&M Eastern Route Quad Tracking + Harbor Tunnel

    I think it depends on the alternative, but I don’t know much about costs. If it was the preferred alternative which has it connecting with the Eastern Route around Oak Island, a grade crossing would have to be eliminated. this would require either an underpass or an overpass as well as the...

So why do the Old Colony lines run with all bi levels and the Franklin line runs mostly bi levels but the NR line only uses 1 or 2?

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Regional Rail (RUR) & North-South Rail Link (NSRL)

    Would a modified Stadler KISS with doors at the mid-level sections be a viable EMU to run? I’m not really caught up on why caltrain’s were so bad.

    MBTA Red Line / Blue Line Connector

    I think inside 128 should all be $2.40 with inside 495 should be no more than $7.50. Unfortunately that would not be very profitable.
