Known locally as the "T", the MBTA operates daily commuter trains in and out of Boston MA, as well as the country's oldest subway (that's right, older than New York's!). There are many commuter train lines, some running on ex-B&M, Old Colony, and New Haven routes. Engines are painted silver, black, and purple with yellow trim, and are quite interesting when clean. Trains are run push-pull thanks to control-cab units in the rear. Some lines run double-decker coaches.
