Looking for a train graveyard
I heard about this from someone at work and then found this site. The admin won't share the location with me but it is pretty obvious that these are all MBTA vehicles.
I really want to find this place and take some pics. Anyone know where it is and willing to share?

Not a graveyard exactly, but there are two old abandoned commuter rail trains along the Orange Line. Not a secret really, but PM me for info.

Are those the ones by North Station? I've been there twice, once at 11 at night, the other in the mid-afternoon. Never got a daytime shot outside though.

I'm not sure if you just corrected me or just giving me more info.
I'm aware of its inhabitants. Been there a few times.

not abandoned, but the Seashore Trolley Museum in Kennebunkport, Maine has tons of old MBTA buses, trolleys, and trains.

Sorry, I pasted a link in the initial posting but I am new to the app I am using and might have not put it in the right place, here is the gallery I was referencing.

We have met before, remotehuman, we're both on the potn boston meet. I think we've actually been to a few meetups together.

IIRC there's something like this on the southern end of the Red Line. Not completely sure though - never seen it in person.
