Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted October 24, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 24, 2023 Yep, MBTA green line extension project cost $2.3 billion . Yet the trains are restricted to 3 mph . Why you ask. Well simply put , they didnt make the tracks the same size as the train wheels . https://www.wcvb.com/article/mbta-green-line-extension-track-defects-investigation/45586525# 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
