I got the idea to check out this area because of a wonderful Route made by escd84 that models this whole area. It's a massive and highly detailed route. There is a review video from an equally great YouTube channel here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJ2MXIPamL8&t=326s
There is an expanded version of the route shown in the video on the DLS under the name:

Cool stuff.

Mt. Vernon IL has some interesting locomotives. I've never seen those switchers either. I think they're privately owned for the metal company there.

But still, there are two crossings nearby which turns me away from the NEC theory. It's 3 am now and I'm too lazy to research this. There is also an add for Miniature Wonderland in Berlin, Germany to the right on the adjacent platform.

The Dover, NJ station is the end of electrification for NJ Transit's Morristown Line, which connects Hoboken, NJ and New York Penn Station with Hackettstown, NJ. The line is also shared with NJ Transit's Montclair-Boonton Line, except between the now defunct station of Roseville Avenue/North Newark (which is just north of Newark Broad Street Station) and the existing Denville station, where the unelectrified Montclair-Boonton Line takes a different route. The ad at the station is not for Miniatur Wunderland, the model railroad which is actually in Hamburg, Germany, but Northlandz, a smaller model railroad in Flemington, New Jersey.

Ah, thank you. I was wondering why there was an add to a model railway 3821 miles away. I should've read the whole sign. Don't go too fast kids!

Those shots are around Readville are nice. Where the commuter storage facility is today was once the extensive New Haven car shops and yard. Looking down from above, you can see where the tracks used to be for the yard located to the right of the current MBTA storage tracks. Where the junk yard is today was once more buildings.

The junction itself is pretty busy with three different lines converging on the same spot. There's the Millis line, Fairmont line and the NEC and all with stations too. Before the Penn Central killed the New Haven, the Fairmont line used to go all the way to Harford, CT. Today, that line terminates just a bit past Franklin, MA. Millis line went to Milford and Hopedale.

If you follow the Fairmont line north, you'll come into the yard areas in South Boston and you'll see all kinds of neat stuff from the various bridges that cross those tracks such as the NEC, MBTA Redline South Boston car shops, and MBTA service center.

New shots from me :

1. This February 2022 shot featured former Saikyo Line HaE 13 (205-121), seen here on its way from Bekasi station as commuter train toward Jakarta Kota station (this route has been discontinued due to large scale route changes on May 2022, which occurs 3 months after this shot was taken).

https://goo.gl/maps/rFrfYUkSdDvriMuJ8

2. A shot of former Musashino Line KeYo M8 heading to Tanah Abang station, taken by Streetview's car on August 2022 from the Jakarta - Serpong toll road. Note that the exact location of this shot is near newly opened interchange between Jakarta - Serpong toll road and Serpong - Cinere toll road (which is part of Jakarta Outer Ring Road 2 toll road).

3. CC206 30 of Yogyakarta locomotive depot is seen in this April 2022 shot taking the Solo Balapan-bound "Fajar Utama Solo" express train, as it prepares to pass the nearby Notog station. While this train consists of 7 economy class coaches, a dining car, 3 first class coaches and a generator car, only the generator car that is a conventional mild steel one (presumably BP-654xx or BP-685xx, both of them modified from baggage cars introduced in 1964 and 1968); the others are newer stainless steel coaches introduced by state-owned PT. INKA back in 2018 and 2019.

That's a BART E Series car, which are non-cab cars. The D Series cars are cab cars. Apparently, Bombardier is taking its time in moving production from New York to a plant split with Hitachi Rail in Pittsburg, CA, which they announced they were doing in 2019.

I know its 2012 but none of the links have any of the locos. I think they moved! I'm silly thought it was funny 1 out of 10 links show a loco.
