Couple of pictures posted to Reddit/Imgur by someone working on the project: Floating crane collar

Massport shares the runway usage stats in a nice spreadsheet on their website. While 32 did have some arrivals in 2020 prior to the pandemic, since April of last year both 14/32 have not been used for any operations. Curious to know if that's due to volumes, airline/air traffic control...

The Middleboro branch added 3 round trips to get off-peak departures down to about every 70-80 minutes, which is much better than the current average of one every 2 hours (Kingston previously had 15 trips until sometime after the tie replacement project). The new Kingston schedule still gives...

At the risk of going really off-topic, the New Haven Railroad Historical and Technical Association might be a good resource. Forums, publications, events, etc.

Trees were removed from Atlantic

There's a scissor lift and man lift by tracks 10-11 but that's nothing unusual so I don't know if it's related to the project.

Didn't have a chance to grab more pics but barriers are up to block the right lane on Stuart.

A lot of us Old Colony riders are being described here. I work in the Back Bay and come into the city on a Kingston line train, so I run over to another track to catch the next outbound train stopping at BB. Most of the time it's easy to do, but sometimes there will be an arriving train on the...

Hopefully it's more Pinehills than University Park for the housing at least. Would love to see some extra commuter rail service to South Weymouth (maybe double-track the stretch, there's room for it); not including UP, there's 300 units under construction next door, another 150 units permitted...

Now 1404 is showing as active, been that way since about noon today.

MBTA’s Quincy bus depot could move to site of former Lowe’s On the surface this looks like a good idea, so naturally the city councilor for the neighborhood comes out against it. There is a gate from the parking lot into the neighborhood, but in my experience I never saw it open. No reason why...

Lots of people fly to Seattle and Vancouver in the summer for Alaska-bound cruises. Granted that's mostly weekend volume, but I'm sure some tack on stays in the area before or after the cruise. Nice to see new Austin service; not complaining about the JetBlue schedule at all since it let me do...
