What are Mastery Challenges?
A comprehensive schedule has been implemented to MBTA Commuter recreating the cadence of passenger services between Boston South and Worcester Union stations. As in real life, all services departing Boston South are locomotive hauled, with cab cars running east from Worcester or Framingham back to Boston.
Screenshots show the cabs of both the HSP46 (above) and CTC-5 cab car (below).
On all westbound services, both the HSP46 and F40PH-3C can be substituted, giving players a choice of traction. Equally, both the CTC-3 and CTS-5 cab cars can be selected for all eastbound services. The vast majority of services run the length of the line to Worcester, with some services terminating at Framingham and returning to Boston.
An unusual form of operation occurs during peak hours, whereby trains run on the 'wrong road' to accommodate a selection of stations featuring only one platform, such as those that run alongside the I90 highway at Newtonville, West Newton and Auburndale. At other times, trains are required to change tracks. This is something to watch out for, for players used to running consistently on the same side of the tracks on other American routes!
Non-revenue services will be playable at both ends of the line, from Worcester to Worcester Yard and from Boston South Station to Southampton Street Yard.
Players with the Northeast Corridor: Boston - Providence route Add-on will also see Amtrak Northeast Regional trains hauled by the ACS-64 locomotive and Amfleet® passenger cars. Some of these trains will be playable as short, non-revenue services using the balloon loop at Boston.
(Note: the screenshot above shows updated PIS which was not shown in the previous Coming Soon article).
Additional freight services can appear between Framingham and Worcester using stock and locomotives from a wider selection of Add-ons to represent the variation of stock and consists that these trains typically run in real life. This includes a small local train heading towards Boston which runs long hood forward!
The highly-anticipated release of MBTA Commuter: Boston – Worcester is rapidly approaching and we wanted to share some details about what you can expect from a signaling perspective. To preface, we designed this route to match the same mid-2019 time period as Boston – Providence. This decision was primarily made to maintain consistency in the scenery and timetable, but had the supplementary benefit of increased signal variance and operational complexity.

When traveling between Boston and Framingham, you will operate the train according to Northeast Operating Rules Advisory Committee (NORAC) Rule 261. This means that the track allows for bidirectional travel and that you’ll control the train according to the indications of the fixed wayside signals you pass. In areas with very long distances between wayside signals, this can cause serious slowdowns when following another train.
When traveling between Framingham and Worcester, you will operate the train according to NORAC Rule 562. The entire rule is quite lengthy, but you’ll essentially control the train according to your cab signal indication. When passing wayside signals at controlled points, you will control the train according to the indication of the wayside signal aspect. Rule 261 also applies in these areas. Traffic flow in Rule 562 territory is typically much more efficient.
The above example shows a section of track between Boston Landing and West Newton in the westbound direction (toward Worcester). The position of a train, represented by the icon, determines how the preceding signal points will behave.
The above example shows a section of track between Grafton and Westborough in the eastbound direction (toward Boston). Now we’ll use signal CP-33 2E in an example. When a train is occupying the block immediately after the signal, it will display a Stop aspect and the signal at CP-39 will display a Clear aspect. This is Rule 562 territory, so the train’s cab signal aspect will gradually downgrade as the train gets closer to the Stop signal at CP-33. As you can see, there are several cut sections between CP-39 and CP-33, with the cab signals potentially being influenced at each one.
