There’s a traffic ticket for Motor Vehicular Trespassing or a criminal charge of Driving on Tracks, which I believe results in a fine

Should be immediately towed - with prejudice.

The T has a crossover track on the inbound side of this intersection. They would still be able to run service to an from BC, but someone would have to operate the switch (which drivers do at Cleveland Circle on their own.) Given the time of the incident, I don't see this as being as bad as, say, a driver doing the same at Packard's Corner at 3 on a Friday afternoon.
