new BET planned? + grand junction rail line at MIT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymdH4JcZht8 - grand junction spur line
runs over charles river and thru MIT in boston and cambridge - just
used for moving passenger trains between north side and south side of
boston

600 on tape - radio freqs - main line seems to be 160.59 - "terminal"
for grand junction spur line seems to be 161.415 - look at the scanner
display

https://www.radioreference.com/db/aid/9099 - radio ref does show
161.415 as Keolis Terminal but .does not mention the Grand Junction
line - (no other websites seem to mention this info)

BET = Boston Engine Terminal

Just an FYI you go to Google Maps you can follow along and see exactly
where the line starts and stops. 14:49 MIT Nuclear Reactor Labatory. I
believe at the MIT Pedestrian Crossing there is a small sign saying,
"Private Railroad Crossing" and the same on the other side of the rail
line. A legal thing, I guess.

This is actually the place where the North South Rail Link should go.
Much cheaper to establish, and more resilient to coastal flooding.
