JD asked:

I am considering taking the train to Boston for the game but I don’t want to be stuck there or miss parts of the game waiting for the train. Is there going to be later subway and commuter rail trains due to the game?
Going to the game isn’t the issue. What about the return trip?

How many decibels is a modern commuter diesel train at 100 feet away?

Die Bart Die asked:

A disused trainline passes 100 feet behind our house that may soon be used for a new commuter diesel train. Is there any research showing the decibel levels at 100 feet away of a modern diesel train or light rail at this distance running at ~30mph.

Links to any detailed research showing actual db levels of commuter diesels or light trail trains will get your answer ranked higher. Interested in the facts (not the politics).
