EXT. LYNN MARSHLAND. DAWN
SEAGULLS squabble over unusual food. POWER PLANT IN THE
DISTANCE, the MTA-train going by. TWO BODIES lie in a tidal
ditch in the salt-marsh. They are the Italians who Billy
fought in the restaurant. Hands taped together behind their
backs. Two in the head each. COLIN is with the LYNN POLICE
and the State Police forensics people. COLIN gets down and
lifts a soaking lapel. Revealed is the tag of a men's shop in
Providence.

I didn't see the Departed (It's like watching doctor shows if you're an M.D.- you notice that it's usually all wrong !), so I don't know what period in time it was supposed to be. However, in Boston, the height of the so-called "Gangland War", where such a scene as you describe was fairly common involving battles over encroached territories and subsequent double-crosses as well as increased law enforcement infiltration spawning informants, was in the 50's- the age of Boston's MTA. The "El" was a common unwitting "co-conspirator" as there were locations under it that offered safe havens for "hits". A mobster would be shot execution-style at the precise moment that an elevated train hammered accross the steel and wood structure above. The shot would never be heard.
