Boston has probably one of the largest transportation systems in the U.S.  If you come to railfan the area, plan on spending A LOT of time.  Between the Heavy Rail, Light Rail, and Commuter Rail lines criss-crossing everything, you will need at least a week of summer days, as winter days are just not long enough.  Add the rail scene to all of this, and you have a city that doesn't have much competition except for the likes of Chicago.

Fortunately for us, the "T" has recently changed their position on photography on their property, and picture taking for personal use is OK.  Compare that to my trip to Boston in the 90's when an operator called me in and the T-police chased me off :-(
