All trains used as examples run on standard gauge track, which is used between Boston and Springfield

I would love to compare specs with current EMUs on, say, the Red Line, but am having trouble finding that information...

Overall, an average speed target of 60mph is about right. That translates to a 1h 40m trip between Boston and Springfield.

what is the difference between rapid and express in Japan?
-
they just refer to different degrees of stop frequency--adding to the confusion, there is no consistency between companies
-
Odakyu trains are ranked like this: - Local - Semi-Express - Express - Rapid Express - Limited Express
-
JR trains tend to use something like this: - Local - Rapid - Express - Limited Express - Superexpress (Shinkansen)
-
maybe they use rapid for commuter trains within a city?
-
Sometimes, but it's also used for limited-stop services in rural areas
-
now another thing to look for when I go to Japan haha
