Day 3, Some Typical Tourist Traps

I original Itinerary included a long walk to the Boston Commons. I was to go via Copley Square but since I had done that the previous evening, changed the itinerary. This part of my visit was to do typical tourist things but without all the tourist baggage. I started at Boyston T station. I took the Green Line. I had been through this station many times and wanted to stop for pictures of some displays in the station.

OK! Not really typical tourist fare. As a train lover and loving all kinds of railed transport, this was fascinating.

Day 2 Continued

Swanscott Train Station

As I planned my visits, I did find a beautiful picture of the Swanscott Train Station. It is still used a the stop for the MBTA.  After my coast drive I drove to the station. As After I took some pictures, I saw the MBTA Work train.

And as would be my luck, I spotted the northbound commuter rail from Boston.

This was good fortune, but not the end of pictures of MBTA north of Boston. Nor, is it end of the day. To be continued.
