Remarks & Notes

The evening rush hour is underway as an ex-PRR E8 accelerates a Providence-bound Penn Central commuter train out of South Station past Boston Terminal Tower 1. This area is completely changed today, with catenary and a bus terminal/parking garage built over the tracks, and the tower is now a computer terminal inside the station.
