[edit] On Time Performance

It would be good to provide on time performance data for trains that only go from Boston to Framingham separately from the Worcester trains. I've been led to believe that the former may tend to be quite good, whereas the latter have poor on time performance. JNW2 (talk) 02:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Actually both segments are horrible, but what else do you expect from the agents of evil? Nutmegger (talk) 22:09, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ownership

The Amtrak System Timetable for Spring and Summer 2007, "Effective April 2, 2007 - October, 2007" page 59 lists track ownership, and under the Lake Shore Limited lists Boston/Poughkeepsie - Cleveland as being owned by CSX. This article seems to imply that a more correct description of that region would be "Framingham/Poughkeepsie - Cleveland", and that Amtrak should list Framingham - Boston as being owned by the MBTA. However, this article does not seem to have a citation for the MBTA ownership claims, which may mean that the correct thing for me to do might be to change the Wikipedia article to match Amtrak's description.

I've since found a reference which shows Turnpike Authority owns part of the line. -- Beland (talk) 16:05, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
