The extreme distance between stations, especially on the Red Line to Braintree, means that a commuter rail EMU capable of higher speeds would likely maintain the same schedule south of JFK-UMass even if it accelerated slower than the Red Line stock. And of course it'd be much simpler to get the Old Colony lines operating with three or four tracks available, rather than the single track left over once the Red Line was finished consuming the commuter line's ROW. |
