Phase 1 map

I noticed there's a scale map available for the Phase 2 Full Build, but none are present for Phase 1. Such maps are available on the MBTA website (see here: https://www.mbta.com/projects/south-coast-rail), however I'm not very familiar with copyright law myself, nor do I know what the copyright status of those images is. There doesn't seem to be any declaration of copyright, so would those images fall under public domain? VSatire (talk) 04:26, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Preparation for March 24 opening

South Coast Rail service will begin on Monday, March 24, 2025, as the Fall River/New Bedford Line. A number of articles and other pages will need updated. Most of them I will do myself the weekend of the 22nd/23rd, using {{show by date}} to automatically update at 4am EST on the 24th. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:26, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All items are done except for the geographic map, which I'll be doing shortly. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:32, 27 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

All of the following I will do myself; I request that no one else do so to avoid edit conflicts:
