    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    I'd agree that it's probably parts of Terminal C. It's the oldest terminal left, and I think basically built on top of its predecessor, and the former Terminal D wing (at least on the street side, near where the Logan Express buses pick up) definitely hasn't seen quite the same level of...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    As I recall, there was still some decent availability of pre-security food options at least in Terminal C until relatively recently. (I don't know if that had to do with the fact that there were those gates in their own little area without much in the way of retail space, and of course that...

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    With them apparently making Providence a focus city, I'd be somewhat surprised to see them try and enter Boston, at least for a bit.

    Logan Airport Flights and Airlines Discussion

    Admittedly I didn't look very hard, but I didn't even see any actual announcements of the service re-starting, just reports of Hainan's filing with the feds last month that they intended to restart. Obviously it seems like those plans changed, but if they hadn't actually announced and opened the...

    I couldn't find any indication that any of their Dreamliners are operating to Boston today, so I'm gonna go with they probably delayed the restart of service.

    General MBTA Topics (Multi Modal, Budget, MassDOT)

    I don't think they ever said that the Orange Line would never close anymore for work. Even if they had said that and intended it, it'd just rot from insufficient maintenance until they had to shut it down again.

    MBTA Construction Projects

    You could probably design a drain into a pipe that empties away from any of the important components under the cab, but you'd either need a really long, flexible (complicated) sewer hose (which would likely be prone to freezing in places that got cold enough) or just dump into the shaft like old...

    MBTA Commuter Rail (Operations, Keolis, & Short Term)

    This is the part I really don't get either. Even if the T were to transition to the much-more-frequent, electrified system TM wants, that doesn't happen overnight. Given the degree to which next to none of that work has actually happened (and, to the extent that some of it has, i.e. the battery...

    Logan Airport Capital Projects

    Was E16 ever supposed to have two bridges? The silver protruding portion is quite a bit narrower than the other three, and I can't find a clear view of it with two bridges in any of the renderings.

    If You Were God/Goddess | Transit & Infrastructure Sandbox

    Well, this is God Mode, so I'd say that a gauntlet isn't needed, because the only way CR can come off the FRA mode at all is if we've God Moded CSX's trackage rights into oblivion, and if we can do that by fiat then we can time-separate out any remaining freights. (I assume for this purpose we'd...

    Green Line Reconfiguration

    I know this has been suggested before, though I still have a hard time envisioning how a quad-track GC would work. Presumably the split to quad-tracking would need to be as close to the Park Street end of the station as possible (because otherwise what's the point if everything's going to back...

    Brandeis/Roberts is relatively inconvenient to access by car from the highways, despite being relatively close to them the access is very roundabout. I don't know if I ever saw that parking lot full.

    Where could you even fit it there? (And it'd be pretty close to Brandeis/Roberts at that.)

    Crazy Highway Pitches

    There's a couple of new-build buildings right around there, none of which properly show up on the maps. There's probably some way to Crazy Pitch a highway through there, but it's not gonna be that easy.

    The Official MBTA System Map

    I'd bet someone did a Google search and just grabbed the first result, or some such thing. :rolleyes:

    Crazy Highway Pitches

    The base map is out of date (Google needs to update some of their imagery), that path goes through a large new building not yet on the map, just south of the Kane's Donuts.

    Reasonable Transit Pitches

    They were sold for scrap, as I understand it, but I don't know if they've actually yet been scrapped.

    Unbuilt Highways in Massachusetts

    Fair enough, though part of me thinks it's probably not worth the effort to change the designation as long as it has an identifiable designation (Everett Turnpike), given that the non-locals are probably going to be using GPS. (Also, would it make more sense just to extend the US 3 designation...

    Unbuilt Highways in Massachusetts

    Is there any particular need for it to be an Interstate? Knowing New Hampshire they'd probably balk at the cost of replacing all the signs (well, unless re-designating it came with a fat chunk of federal highway dollars, I suppose).

    Green Line Reconfiguration

    It's the "getting to the Transitway" that's the problem, for me. Somewhere in one of these threads (either this one or Crazy Transit Pitches) there was a pretty thorough back-and-forth from a few years ago on how it might not even be possible to get into the transitway via Atlantic, and the only...
