Besides operating Boston's four subway train lines, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) operates thirteen Commuter Rail lines connecting Boston with towns to the north (as far as the New Hampshire state line), west to Worcester, and south to Providence RI (map).

Trains depart Boston's North Station (map) for Fitchburg, Lowell, Haverhill, Newburyport and Rockport, and trains depart South Station Transportation Center for Worcester, Needham Heights, Forge Park/I-495, Foxboro, Providence RI, Fall River, New Bedford, Middleborough/Lakeville and Kingston/Route 3.

Most trains offer free Wifi service, but note there are no toilets or snack/beverage service on trains, and few stations except the ones in Boston have toilet facilities. Plan accordingly.

The MBTA website has train schedules and fares.
