This should be a no-brainer. What are they waiting for?

For a long long time there was single track through beacon yard. There was no track 1 between the switch after yawkey and around the Boston Landing area. With the Boston Landing development track one was extended through beacon yard. And then a new switch was recently completed east of Boston Landing. Apologies that I can't tell you the CPXX number, I am yet a lowly train commuter.
MOST of the time on the worcester line, the rush hour trains tend to use track 2. This is for all kinds of reasons, but mostly because you have stops like West Natick that only really make sense to pick up and drop off on track 1 because otherwise you have to have people cross the track.
My comment was that on the 507, the inbound train switched onto track 1 in Weston instead of continuing it's normal run on track 2. I don't know why - it's just interesting.
