New forum looks pretty good. However, when a post has new replies, how do I go to the first new reply since last viewing the thread? The old forum has this option. But I can't seem to find anything which will bring me to the start of new replies and I have to hunt down where I left off and it is...

I was about half way through when I realized I was supposed to be viewing these pictures through the lens of my primary mode.

Looking around the area, there's actually a surprising amount of infill that could happen in that part of Eastie. Never realized that before.

Same. I often wonder how difficult it would be to live there without any prior exposure to the language. I imagine in the major cities, English might actually be enough to get by on?

Sell off basically all of Reservoir Yard and use the funds towards a Needham Branch with a new, slightly larger carhouse facility at Needham Jct. If any property is kept at Reservoir, it would basically be for laying over and not for maintenance and servicing. Completely rework the whole...

I don't know what exactly weigh station ops currently are like, but more automation of weigh stations sounds pretty brilliant. Even if it all it does is halve the staffing requirement, it would mean they could staff the stations twice as often. But of course, if it is such a brilliant idea...

Regional Rail (includes NSRL). Simply the single most important project I can imagine right now.

Taken from the link above: I think this block looks great. Better than I'd expect!

The T is planning on ordering more flats for the next order. Their reasoning is that it is better for ADA mobility throughout the train, particularly in an emergency. The benefit that they haven't even considered is that flats have better dwell times.

From what I read somewhere, the driver was claiming to have made the same run with the same type of load multiple times. Perhaps this load was a little taller for some reason, but he assumed it was the same and went on his merry way thinking he knew the usual route was the correct route.

Re: North-South Rail Link Nah, a Worcester Patriots train already did a test run a year or two ago. It went Worcester to Framingham on the B&A and Framingham to Foxboro on the Framingham Secondary. The speeds were too low at the time for it to be worth it, but Mass Coastal is almost done with...

How about 'Boston - Most Embarrassing Blight That Tourists Smell'? Walk the North End on a hot summer day and you can smell the sewer system. What specifically causes that? Is there an "easy" fix?

The Grand Junction will again be removed from service when the Mass Pike realignment kicks up.
