Looks like it would've had to have been taken from
somewhere between the tracks and Miller's River - is that area legally accessible if you're not an employee of Sand & Gravel?
There are spots open to the public in that area ...
Where somebody could get a train and the MoS in the shot, no? Like from the path that runs along Miller's River to the underside of the Zakim?
I think you'd have the Route 1 / I-93 overpass in your way
or at least in the top of the frame. But not knowing anything about photography, maybe there are some lenses that would take care of that.
Another option would have been to hang the camera on a rope or a selfie-stick off the North Point pedestrian bridge.
Or, as I said, work for Boston Sand and Gravel.
Possible without Sand and Gravel access.
Based on the angles of the image content (MOS signs, T green line bridge, the signs next to the "T" on the train in the photo, the fence next to the train....so on and on), this photo was easily taken from here:

This photo really shows how important the T is to the city of Boston. Pairing that with the sunset in the background also make it look beautiful! It’s definitely a great way to travel.
