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?

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 {{tl|show by date}} to automatically update at 4am EST on the 24th. Pi.1415926535 (talk) 00:26, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
