The MBTA Commuter Rail lines in Boston defintitely count, IMO. You can commute from Providence to Boston (and from TF Green Airport to Logan Airport through only trains and BRT). If NH ever pulls it's head out of its ass, the proposed Nashua and Manchester expansions will also happen.
Also, during the summer, they run trains from South Station to Hyannis down the Cape, and the stop is like two blocks from where the Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket ferries dock.
Biggest issue with them right now is the lack of a connection between North and South Stations. Before they fucked up the Green Line Expansion, I would have told you the North-South connection (which would also enable the Acela to go north of Boston) was probably going to get approved and started within the next 10 years, and it still might anyways. The MBTA leadership basically needs to be purged first, though.
I was in awe of the system in boston compared to chicago.
