The project: Design for five on-grade open commuter rail platforms and two crew buildings.

• New emergency generator systems
• Exterior platform lighting and parking lot lighting to MBTA standards
• Power to VMS, vending machines, elevators, and misc electrical heat
• New EV charging stations
• Power to prefab communication “huts” 10’ x 10’ walk-in metal buildings
• Fire alarm systems where required.
• Heating for selected rooms at the stations
• HVAC for crew buildings
• Bathrooms, kitchenettes, floor & roof drains in crew buildings
• Drainage and sump pumps in elevator pits
• Sprinklers in crew buildings
• Standpipes in platforms

The outcome: Cities and towns in southeastern Massachusetts have passenger rail service for the first time in 65 years.
