The latter link renders test buttons with sample addresses.

Basically I solved for my own problem: I live outside of Boston but with family logistics I could be using any one of 5 Commuter Rail stations for my commute to downtown. I needed an easy way to search, visualize, and plan the return timing.

Half baked: I'd love to extend it to North Station too. There's some UX I'd like to resolve. I lean on PositionStack which does not have a great up-time record. Otherwise I enjoyed using the MBTA v3 API, a fun project.
