Reply to comment by RoaminRonin13 in MBTA to close part of Orange Line to work on slow zones it said were eliminated, but weren’t, during full shutdown by ik1nky

Exactly!! I can’t think of any reason running them back to back makes sense. Especially given how slow they go.

Maybe it has something to do with switching at JFK?

(I may just be outing myself as knowing nothing about how the trains work, IDK)

No, that’s actually very likely. The less often they have to throw a bunch of switches (and make sure the associated signals change properly) the better.
