Slight revision to the above:Saturday 11/8: So far we've agreed that we will take the first train of the morning between North Station and Newburyport, leaving at 9:30 AM. This round trip arrives back at North Station at 11:49 AM. After lunch, we most likely will ride the Green Line "B" route over Commonwealth Avenue to Boston College and back, since we missed it at the 2002 Fest. Then we will do one of the Old Colony Lines. That should wrap up our day, since it gets dark earlier now.
With regard to the Old Colony Lines, I have had two votes for Plymouth, zero votes for Kingston, and zero votes for the Middleborough-Lakeville Line. I'll accept that as a mandate that we will do the Plymouth branch of the Plymouth/Kingston Line, whose endpoint is by far the most railfan-friendly.
What this means is that after arriving back at North Station at 11:49 AM from Newburyport, we will make our way directly to South Station. We will have to grab lunch there quickly, possibly even bringing it on the train if time does not allow us to eat in the station's food court.
The train to Plymouth departs South Station at 12:40 PM, and gets to Plymouth at 1:35 PM. There is only 25 minutes layover time there, during which one could possibly run into the Walmart, which I am told also has a McDonald's inside.
The same equipment departs Plymouth at 2:00 PM for the return trip. Note that the next train departs Plymouth at 7:05 PM, so please don't get caught on a line at Walmart! Five hours is a long time. Our train gets back to South Station at 2:57 PM.
Then we will go hit the Green Line to Boston College, making that our last run of the day.
