The storage room, tucked away in the huge Boston Engine Terminal in Somerville, was equipped with three televisions and surround-sound speakers, the transportation official, who did not want his name used, told The Boston Globe. There were also two DVD players, a video player, video game equipment, a library of DVDs, including pornography, and cable service, supplied illegally via a 1,000-foot cable.
"This was very much concealed among maintenance parts and equipment," the official said.
No one was in the room when it was discovered. The equipment was seized, and no one has come forward to claim it.
Six employees who were not present for roll call that night have been suspended. They include one man believed to have left the facility to spend time at a bar he owns.
The facility is operated by Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad, a private company that runs suburban trains for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.
