    Mass. Pike Bridge Replacement Set to Begin Soon.

    I didn't think of that. Sorry. But we are finally about to see the end of the controversy in that area that's been in hot water for years ever since the track yard was removed. And BTW, the work will be similar to the work that was done for the Comm Ave Bridge Replacement. :)...

    Why is the subway so jerky?

    This is what it felt like riding the old Hawkers on the Blue Line. After a while, the Orange Line's old Hawkers felt the same way!! I felt hopping mad!!! Hah!!!! :eek:

    Acela & Amtrak NEC (HSR BOS-NYP-WAS and branches only)

    There' a bridge somewhere along the Northeast Corriddor that turns to let boats trough, similar to the one in Boston that closed. It is being replaced with a new & higher one that lets the traffic on the water go under it, but it's not completed yet. Supposedly, it's not ready yet. :unsure:

    In that pic, you can also see the old Orane Line El running past the Holy Cross Cathedral. As kids, we rode that line all the time to the barber school that our dad sent us to, to get a haircut!!!!!!!! :)

    "Dirty Old Boston"

    The 2 tallest buildings back then were the old John Hancock & the Custom House Tower (now the Marriott Hotel). It was before Boston started getting a redo with new office towers.

    Green Line Type 10 Procurement

    I wonder just how the new Type 10's are coming along, thinking just when the first trolley will be made & will come off the assembly line.. And will it look exactly like the mockup that was on display at City Hall plaza. I trust that CAF will do the thing right, unlike CRRC, which did a crappy...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Why can't you seem to understand what I'm saying? All that I'm saying is that there were imperfections that have occured on the line regardless of who was at fault or whatever. You're blatently disputing me when you know that things have occured on the line. :mad: :mad:

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    CRRC has been slow in getting the new cars to the MBTA for the longest time. But I guess that no one even knew that this would happen!! I wish & hope that this crappy co is not ever chosen to make any more railcars for the MBTA again. Ever!!!!! :mad: :mad:

    New Red and Orange Line Cars

    Before, it was the Orange Line that needed them first because the old Hawkers were breaking down & catching fire. They never were given a midlife rebuild. And so, they just went on & on, & on until the wheels came off, so to speak. Now the rest of the Orange Line's new railcars are on hold...
