Such a pleasing polygon.

This image should show a little more of the pathway (got a friend to take a picture from the other side)

https://www.openrailwaymap.org/ is probably exactly what you're looking for.

I haven’t counted but I’d think this is where these numbers come from: NWS Water weather page for Boston harbor tide measurements With this raw data of recent crests being the one that is being referenced.

I think you've hit all the spots (and then some via Fairmount Line) For reference: Rapid Transit Half-Mile Walkshed arcgis map (No Silver Line or Above Ground Green Line) You'll see the spots on the southern Red Line and northern Orange Line where there are breaks in the polygon. Which you've...

It's a small video--try this link? I cant attach the mp4 to this post unfortunately.

Wow, I couldn't even orient myself and figure out where this picture was taken from/what I was actually looking at for a few moments there! (Still) can't wait!

I work from home except for maybe 2x a month in the office when I need specific equipment. The office used to be in the Seaport which is walking distance to me (~1.5 mi), however, during covid they downsized the office space to a small spot in Newton Corner (which is now a train + express bus...

I'm more surprised at the actual color choices. It's as if someone just said, "oh we have color changing lights, lets set them to the default 'red' and the default 'green' setting". It's the most default, saturated, red and green color, like FF0000 and 00FF00 in rgb hex codes. The same thing...

I didn't see this posted: MBTA has released their preliminary November service changes for work on the Red/Orange lines. Looks like fixes/speed restriction work for the Red between JFK/UMass and Park Street Stations (Nov 14 @ 8:45p - Nov 16, weekend of Nov 18-19) and Alewife and Kendall/MIT...

I also like this whole thing. Makes me smile just thinking about it all. About some traffic concerns towards downtown: Would removing Storrow Dr (eastbound) in the Back Bay to Beacon Hill (Longfellow Bridge) area necessitate using/modifying Back St at all? I assume it's just used for Back...

Yeah but if I’m not mistaken the FTA assumed control of WMATA in 2015 or so when they were having a horrible time. I’m not saying it’s equivalent but if you recognize the FTA coming in this year and telling the MBTA to get their act together as—we have some years to get to WMATA 2023 status...

here's a doc from 2018 that has station lengths / curves from that time. I don't know if any updated presentations like this were made. Green Line Future Capacity Study Update 5/7/2018

Nighttime shot from 5/23 when the Celtics were playing in Miami. Green logo, white ribs. I guess the ribs don't change color?
