Hi all

I have to go down to Quincy tomorrow for a court date (no, I'm not in trouble) and the whole thing has been stressing me out for a long time.

I was wondering if there are still any railroads in the area that I can maybe go see after the trial. I've already seen the T operating here and there, but is there still a Quincy Bay Terminal RR? What is the Fore River one? Is there anyplace to watch any action?

Fore River is basically the old QBT. They iterchange with CSXT at Braintree yard, which is behind the Best Buy ( get off Rte3 as if you were going to the Braintree T station.)

Little bit out f the way from Quincy District court, but then you're close to Rte128 for the ride up to Rte2 for home.

Ooooh, really??? Close to 128?? I got sooooo lost the last time I had to go. Just could NOT find the highway! The car's cooling fan stopped working, and I had to get towed from Quincy all the way to Belmont.... NOT a happy day...
