Commuter Rail service is provided along 14 active trunkline routes essentially split into two districts. They are: North Side: North Station Routes Newburyport Line ("Eastern" Line) Rockport Line Haverhill Line ("Western" or “B&M” Line) Lowell Line ("New Hampshire" Line) Fitchburg Line South Side: South Station Routes Framingham/Worcester Line ("Boston and Albany" Line) Needham Line Franklin Line Providence Line ("Northeast Corridor" or "Shore" Line) Stoughton Line Fairmount Line ("Midlands" or "Dorchester" Line) And three routes also referred to as the Old Colony Railroad: Middleborough/Lakeville Line Plymouth/Kingston Line Greenbush Line Heavy maintenance on trains is performed at the Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility (at the former Boston Engine Terminal site) in Somerville. Dispatching for North Side routes is controlled at the nearby Cobble Hill facility, while South Side dispatching is coordinated with Amtrak's Centralized Electric and Traffic Control (CETC) system at South Station. Running maintenance and special work are performed at the Southside Service and Inspection Facility near South Station, and at the Readville Interim Repair facility in Hyde Park, Boston. In addition to regular service, railroad operations special trains are operated for major events such as sporting events, First Night, and chartered trains. The MBTA owns over 500 pieces of commuter rail rolling stock, including passenger locomotives, utility locomotives, work train equipment (such as flat cars, hopper cars, etc.), snow plows, midtrain coaches, and cab cars. Operation, staffing, and maintenance of this equipment are the responsibility of the contractor. File: CH 04 p01-2 - Introduction Commuter Rail The MBTA also owns the majority of the trackage upon which commuter rail service is provided, including the "Wildcat" branch that links the Haverhill and Lowell lines near Wilmington. Several trains per day use this route variation. Exceptions to MBTA track ownership include: Worcester Line - Back Bay to Newton, owned by MassDOT Worcester Line - Framingham to Worcester, owned by MassDOT Foxboro Station - Connecting trackage owned by CSX Transportation The "Grand Junction" Line - Beacon Park to Somerville, used in non-revenue service to transfer trains from one district to another, owned by MassDOT Rail freight service is provided along many commuter rail lines by agreement with private railroad corporations. Carriers include the Providence and Worcester Railroad, CSX Transportation, the Bay Colony Railroad, Guilford Transportation, and Fore River Transportation.

    IBI GROUP 115 Broad Street – 5th Floor Boston MA 02110 USA tel 617 450 0701 fax 617 450 0702 Memorandum To/Attention City of Cambridge Date July 23, 2014 From IBI Group Project 36660 No cc Steno tt Subject Cambridge Service Analysis - FINAL Project Understanding Transit services in urban settings face a number of challenges due to space constraints, congestion, and delay, among other issues. The City of Cambridge engaged IBI Group to carry out an analysis of important bus routes (1, 69, 73, and 77) within the City limits to determine where these challenges are sufficient to warrant City initiatives to improve bus service, including implementing priority for buses at traffic signals (transit signal priority or TSP) or reserving space for buses only (such as queue jump lanes allowing buses to get a head start on other vehicles at traffic lights). This memorandum presents the methodology and results of that analysis. Summary of Results The results of this analysis indicate locations along the four bus routes where buses experience significant delay and/or reliability challenges. The table below identifies the ten worst ranking composite grades for travel time delay (both in terms of bus delay and passenger delay) and unreliability. For further definition of the measures used to reach these conclusions, as well as the analysis of each route identifying these areas for improvements, please see later sections of this memorandum.
