Commuter Rail in Boston, USA
The MBTA Commuter Rail system is a Regional rail network that shares its tracks with inter-city passenger and freight trains. As of 2007, the system was composed of twelve lines, three of which have branches, and another branch provides access to Gillette Stadium for special events in or near Foxborough. The rail network operates according to a spoke-hub distribution paradigm, with the lines running radially outward from the city of Boston. Eight of the lines converge at South Station, with four of these passing through Back Bay station. The other four converge at North Station. Amtrak uses two of the south-side lines and one of the north-side lines for long-distance intercity service. The Commuter Rail system has used the color purple on train cars and system maps since October 8, 1974, and consequently it is sometimes called the Purple Line.

One Hour of Boston's Transportation (MBTA MARATHON)!
The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, often referred to as the MBTA or The T, is the public operator of most bus, subway, commuter rail, and ferry routes in the greater Boston, Massachusetts area. Officially a body politic and corporate, and a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it was formed in 1964. Its immediate predecessor, the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA), was immortalized by The Kingston Trio in the popular folk-protest lament M.T.A. Locals call it The T, after its logo, the letter T in a circle, adopted in the 1960s and inspired by the Stockholm Metro. In 2008, the system averaged 1.3 million passenger trips each weekday, of which the subway averaged 598,200, making it the fourth busiest subway system in the United States. The Green Line and Ashmont--Mattapan High Speed Line comprise the busiest light-rail system in the U.S, with a weekday ridership of 255,100.

The MBTA is one of only two U.S. transit agencies that operate all of the five major types of transit vehicles: regional (commuter) rail trains, heavy rapid transit (subway/elevated) trains, light rail vehicles (trolleys), electric trolleybuses and motor buses. The other is Philadelphia's Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA).

The Green Line is a streetcar system run by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in the Boston, Massachusetts area of the United States. It is the oldest line of Boston's subway, which is known locally as the 'T'. The Green Line runs underground downtown and on the surface in outlying areas. With a daily weekday ridership of 237,700, it is also the most heavily-used light rail line in the country. The line was given the green color because it goes primarily though an area called the Emerald Necklace of Boston. The four branches are the remnants of a once large system of streetcar lines, begun in 1856 with the Cambridge Horse Railroad. The Tremont Street Subway carries cars of all branches under downtown, and is the oldest subway tunnel in North America, opened in stages between September 1, 1897 and September 3, 1898 to take streetcars off surface streets.

The colors were assigned on August 26, 1965 in conjunction with design standards developed by Cambridge Seven Associates, and have served as the primary identifier for the lines since the 1964 reorganization of the MTA into the MBTA. The Orange Line is so named because it used to run along Orange Street (now lower Washington Street), as the former Orange Street also was the street that joined the city to the mainland through Boston Neck in colonial times; the Green Line because it runs adjacent to parts of the Emerald Necklace park system; the Blue Line because it runs under Boston Harbor; and the Red Line because its northernmost station used to be at Harvard University, whose school color is crimson.
The four transit lines all use standard rail gauge, but are otherwise incompatible; trains of one line would have to be modified to run on another. Orange and Blue Line trains are similar enough that modification of some Blue Line trains for operation on the Orange Line was considered, although ultimately rejected for cost reasons. Also, some of the new Blue Line cars from Siemens Transportation were tested on the Orange Line after hours, before acceptance for revenue service on the Blue Line. There are no direct track connections between lines, except between the Red Line and Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line, but all except the Blue Line have little-used connections to the national rail network, which have been used for deliveries of railcars and supplies. ~Wikipedia

Entering Boston via North Station commuter rail.
Here's what a view of coming into Boston from the North side looks like via the commuter rail...We go past Boston Sand & gravel which has been in this spot since who knows when.They get trains via NHN of stone and sand....They mix cement here and deliver it around Boston...You pass over a very old bridge that is at the beginning of the Charles river where it meets Boston Harbor..You would also see this if you took Amtrak out of this station to Maine on the Downeaster.
BOSTON, riding the SUBWAY (THE 'T') from Boston University to Quincy Market (USA) ????
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a ride along Boston's oldest subway system in North America, with the first underground streetcar traffic dating back to 1897. Today the whole subway network is owned and operated by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA). We will ride the train from Boston University all the way to Quincy Market (where the station is called 'Government Center'). Enjoy!!
Boston is Massachusetts’ capital and largest city. Founded in 1630, it’s one of the oldest cities in the U.S. The key role it played in the American Revolution is highlighted on the Freedom Trail, a 2.5-mile walking route of historic sites that tells the story of the nation’s founding. One stop, former meeting house Faneuil Hall, is a popular marketplace.

MBTA // Boston Commuter Rail Trains - Simultaneous Departures, Arrivals and at Speed!!!
A short compilation of a few videos that I have taken of the Commuter Rail trains that operate in and around Boston, USA.
This Commuter Rail is owned by MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) and they operate these iconic purple and silver push pull trains, which always have the locomotive attached to the side away from Boston city and the driving cab coach on the side towards Boston city. They have two main terminal stations in Boston - North Station and South Station - and from those two stations they go in different directions to various towns around Boston.
On my recent trip there, I took a few videos and decided to upload them. First you can see trains arriving and departing from Concord station.
You can also see a train speeding past a stretch of track near the Walden Pond, which is also near Concord only.
Lastly, you can see early morning simultaneous departures of two commuter trains from Boston South Station.
Note the electronic bells and the flashing lights whenever the trains are approaching or departing stations.
Hope you enjoy the video!
