[edit] Charlestown/Cambridge line

As far as I can discern, the rail line is roughly the Cambridge/Boston boundary and so I've moved at least some crossings over to Charlestown. The North Point redevelopment is definitely a BRA project (so the new Lechmere station will be in Boston.) --Jnik 01:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I verified the line and bridge locations in OLIVER. The Charlestown/Cambridge line runs directly between the Zakim and the Leverett Circle connector. The Orange Line tunnel is west of the Zakim on the Boston side, and directly underneath the Zakim on the Charlestown side; it is always east of the connector. I also combined the bascule/commuter rail bridge; there is only one bridge at this location with two halves (or, alternatively, two paired bridges); both open and both carry commuter rail. Appropriate citations for "I looked in OLIVER" and "I looked in Google Maps" are welcome... --Jnik 16:27, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whoops

I created a new list for the Cuyahoga River this past week, and only just realized that we never finished the Charles! I'll get on that. - Denimadept (talk) 06:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
