Framingham station

{{Framingham station}} @Whoop whoop pull up and Pi.1415926535: I was working on the diagram, and this is what I gleaned from bing maps. Is it correct? Useddenim (talk) 03:39, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Everything you have marked as active lines is correct, as is the wye of the Milford Branch. The line you have marked as ? was a short industrial spur that served Sherborn Prison (now MCI Framingham) and some industry; there's no need to show it on a diagram about a passenger service. What you have marked as a connector between the Framingham Secondary and the Milford Branch is actually the right of way of the Sudbury Aqueduct; it was never used by railroads. The RDT as you currently have it should be fine. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 13:53, 7 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Saxonville Branch

Shouldn't this be shown with a simple   (CONTgq)? Useddenim (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Saxonville Branch is long, long dead. Passenger service ended in 1936, and freight service has been gone for a while. Rails are removed from the whole ROW; they're just waiting for CSX and the local yokels to agree on a sales price so it can become a trail. I removed it because there's no reason it should be shown here. This diagram should show the Framingham/Worcester Line service; the details of the physical infrastructure should be on {{Boston and Albany Railroad RDT}} or something like that.

Do the railway and Turnpike parallel each other, or just cross back and forth? Useddenim (talk) 16:52, 8 September 2016 (UTC) They are very much parallel - part of the Pike lanes actually sit on the former 3rd and 4th track berths. However, I think it's awfully cluttering to show the Pike here - as I noted above, this RDT should be for the service. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 17:58, 8 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

The Pan Am trackage to Ayer?

edit

Anyone feel like adding to the route diagram the Pan Am line between Worcester and Ayer? It's the one that was used for northside-southside equipment moving while the Grand Junction was under reconstuction. I don't know how to make the diagrams myself, that's why I'm asking. Thanks very much! World Metro (talk) 17:42, 28 February 2019 (UTC)Reply

That does not belong on this template. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:33, 2 March 2019 (UTC)Reply
