River Works and Bus #111[edit]

Why does the infobox say River Works is for GE employees only, but the article body mention a transfer to bus 111? Wouldn't transfering to bus 111 be useful to those who aren't GE employees? JNW2 (talk) 18:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as I can tell from the MBTA web site, bus 111 doesn't go anywhere near River Works. AJD (talk) 21:46, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unrecognized defunct stations[edit]

It is hard to imagine that this line never had stations in Revere or that Lynn always has been the first station on the line. Anyone have information? Dogru144 (talk) 15:39, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Plenty of old stations on the line. The Great Revere Train Wreck of 1871 was at Revere station. I'll look into adding information. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:20, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Portsmouth, New Hampshire terminus?[edit]

I recall seeing maps with tracks continuing from Newburyport to Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Isn't this the case? And hadn't there been in the further distant past service through to Maine, via a bridge northeast out of Portsmouth?Dogru144 (talk) 20:04, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the Eastern Railroad ran to Portland. From Portsmouth, the line crossed where the US-1 Bypass bridge is now, and ran north to South Berwick where it joined with B&M tracks to Portland. (Much of the ROW between Kittery and Berwick is now Route 236.) Portsmouth passenger service ended on January 4, 1965, though freight service continued after. The bridge over the Merrimack went out of service sometime after Newburyport service ended in 1978. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 04:00, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Electrification[edit]

The article indicates electrification starting at Chelsea. What of the line between North Station and Chelsea, no electrification will be there? Also, the article mentions no overhead wires in a Salem tunnel. What is to happen there? Diesel or third rail? Some missing gaps in information to be explained.Dogru144 (talk)
