    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    So that's considered art? Why not just put up a blank white sign and wait a few days? At least that would be evolving art.

    But they are not consistent in height.

    Still can't understand why some of those catenary poles are so weirdly high!

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    The train on the left is a B train so it must be westbound after making the GC loop. I think the track on the right is the westbound main from North Station and the track on the left foreground is the track into the eastbound (Lechmere) loop. Someone had to go through a double red for that to...

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Is that the spot where the railroad siding tracks went underneath? If they add the tracks then it would really be interesting. Otherwise it's kind of weird.

    Those support poles look so height-inconsistent. I realize some of it maybe camera distortion but some, like these in the second picture below, look unnecessarily high.

    10 mph from end to end

    Why on earth would you not place the platform further west so you don't have that long exposed walk to the station? Is it to provide a storage area for cars at the end if needed?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Brand new modern track and switches and the T still requires operators to slow down to 10 mph when crossing over a switch? Even a trailing point switch? Seems a bit ridiculous. BTW - the "approach" speed limit sign (10 mph ahead) is something new for the T which I have never seen before.

    Conley Terminal cranes arriving

    I guess the big question is how many containers were loaded/unloaded in Boston?

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    Looks like they are running them almost the entire length of the track that runs closest to the middle fence and the commuter rail tracks. Maybe that's a requirement of this type of heavy rail/light rail ROW sharing? But then why not have the same guard rails on the heavy rail tracks...

    Note the arrow that tells you which track the train is leaving from.

    I wonder if they are allowed a BBQ and firepit of some sort. Maybe propane or natural gas type?

    Fenway HoJo's Redevelopment | 1271 Boylston Street | Fenway

    Looks like they are in an enclosed courtyard behind the main building. Access must be through the main building.

    Still don't know what those things are exactly but I do like the old fashion art deco vibe. I want to see the insides. Checked out the hotel website but no info yet.

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    So a derailment will not jump onto the platform I guess. Kind of overkill especially since trains are supposed to creep along platforms at 10 mph. I suppose a stopped train could be pushed into a platform from a collision caused by a following train but the new signal system should prevent...

    From information I have just received it appears that even though the GLX is being built to a 50 MPH MAS "design speed", the cars will still operate at a maximum speed of 40 MPH as they do now.

    No, I misspoke there. That would not be necessary. I retract that question :)

    Green Line Extension to Medford & Union Sq

    For those who don't know, this is the plan for a new crossover from the inner loop to the through track just outside of Park Street Station. Please note that I posted this on another site in 2003! So don't hold your breath. P.S. The inner loop will still get activity since the B trains will...
