How do I travel from Boston Logan airport to western mass?
I'm going to be flying into Logan airport. I know that MBTA connects to the airport, so I figured I would connect to Amtrak somehow and take it to Springfield.. What's the name of Boston's central station (the equivalent to NYC's Grand Central of LA's Union Station) where subways and trains converge?

Answer 1 :
Take the Silver Line bus service from Logan Airport to Boston's South Station http://www.mbta.com/rider_tools/trip_planner/default.asp Train 449 The Lake Shore Limited runs daily from Boston to Springfield. http://tickets.amtrak.com/itd/amtrak
Answer 2 :
You have many more options if you take Peter Pan Bus. Amtrak to Springfield (direct route) only runs once per day in each direction. Peter Pan has more than 8. Boston has 2 main stations where trains and subways come together, and those two don't directly connect to each other. South Station is the main Amtrak station, the main bus terminal, on the Red and Silver Lines, and the terminus for south and west-bound commuter rail. North Station has Amtrak's Maine service, north bound commuter rail, and the Orange and Green subway lines. ADDED: Peter Pan Bus also leaves from the Airport, no need to go to South Station.
Answer 3 :
The subways and and trains converge at all of Boston's RR stations. There is no central station but two terminal stations: South and North, and then there is a 2nd busy station, Back Bay, serving most but not all of the southward and one westward line, the one you will take for Springfield, which originates at South Station. There is at present only one train a day from Boston to Springfield, and I think reserved seats are necessary. You may wish to consider instead taking the bus, which leaves from the central bus terminal which is part of the South Station complex (one walks doen Platform 1 to reach the bus terminal from the train terminal). To get to South Station from the airport take the Silver Line articulated bus right at your terminal. The trip takes about 12 minutes.
