You are correct. MBTA Commuter Rail was never run departmentally. It was run by B&M then Guilford followed by Amtrak, then MBCR and finally currently Keolis.Was MBTA ever directly/departmentally operated? I may well be mistaken but I thought that MBTA has always contracted with some other entity, be it B&M, Amtrak, Keolis, etc, to operate their Commuter Rail services.
I suppose it is just NY MTA (LIRR and MNRR), NJTRO and SEPTA RO that are run departmentally, except for MNRR West of Hudson service which is operated under contract by NJT RO.
