The Mystic River Bridge for MBTA Orange Line and Commuter Rail (Boston)stands tall against the Boston skyline on this crisp winter day. The 3-track bridge carries 2 tracks of Orange Line and one track of Commuter Rail (Haveril/Reading line). The tower in the background is for the locks behind the bridge. There is a walking path that ends right at the foot of the bridge on the left that provides a very interesting view (and acoustic experience) as the orange line trains thunder across the bridge overhead (I'd guess they do 25-30 over the bridge-not really fast, but nowhere near a crawl either.)
