Does anyone know if the building is landmarked or qualifies for landmarking?

You know how much them CR-V drivers love their off-roadin'!

I, too, hate when people come into an architecture forum and try to discuss ... architecture.

Maybe the were manufactured at the Gallifrey factory.

I agree, biut the good news it that it all very easily reversible. It's not like they are ripping out old growth timbers or smashing hand carved masonry. So hopefully someday a future owner will come to their senses and put it back to way it is today.

That's actually a good question. At some point they will have enough new trains in service to start permanently retiring old sets. I wonder if the T has any kind preliminary timeline for that.

Thanks stellar! I can't imagine how much they could even be allowed to do to the McKim building beyond restoration work. That must be one of the most protected post-colonial buildings in Boston.

I can't find anymore information on this. Anyone know what it is about? https://www.facebook.com/126974090742/posts/10157616236870743/

I got the new train this morning! Thoughts: The new plastic seats seem 'slippery' compared to the old cloth seats, but they have oddly great lumbar support. The doors chimes that I was worried about are far less annoying than I thought. I was able to tune them out by the second stop. As someone...

Are we not mentioning Regina's because it's generally understood to be the best pizza in Boston or are we doing the hipster, nose-in-air, "Askually, Regina's is very over-rated" thing? I'll admit the the chain pizza isn't as good as the original location stuff but it's still a lot better than...

Oh, they almost certainly won't, but a boy can dream...

Fingers crossed that the new owners don't believe in 'sunk cost fallacy' and won't hesitate to completely redevelop the building.

Gotta do something with all that casino money!

"Although we are all excited about the new trains going into revenue service we want to remind our riders that while we have done extensive testing on these new trains, certain performance issues may require us to remove the new sets for extended periods of time." Maybe they did put out a...
