Test Trains to and from Middleborough to Fall River and New Bedford

Test Trains to and from Middleborough to Fall River and New Bedford Test trains are now running along the South Coast Rail Right-of-Way. The MBTA will test with Commuter Rail trains to and from Middleborough, East Taunton, Freetown, Fall River, and New Bedford. As testing continues, trains are travelling at speeds of up to 79 miles per hour, much faster than current freight trains at 25 mph. Please remember: • Practice caution when crossing the tracks; this applies to residents, pedestrians, and drivers • DON’T walk on or along the tracks; it’s both illegal and life threatening • When driving, DON’T stop (or park) on tracks at grade crossings or anywhere - make sure you have space to clear the tracks before proceeding across the tracks
