it's worth noting that in several cases (in and out of south station, for example) the lines on which the Commuter Rail runs and the lines on which Amtrack/cargo trains run are one and the same. so it's not always a differentiation thing, though certainly sometimes it is.
p.s., i totally hear you on the public transit map vs. street map thing. part of my troubles with navigating in boston via car (which i'm mostly over) had to do with not being able to connect disjoint portions of the city while driving. like, how do i get from porter to harvard? well, you take the T, duh.
it's also occasionally embarassing to be downtown near the four corners of the T and not be able to walk from one station to another, even though they're separated by like two blocks sometimes.
