Doesn’t the Acela get to Back Bay/South Station in like 38 mins? I’m assuming this is the T?

(Don’t flame me, I just moved to Providence and am still learning how things work here).

It's somewhere close to that but it's expensive and only runs a handful of times per day. It only stops at 128 between Providence and Boston. EMUs on the commuter rail would stop at all the other stations in between and still make it to Boston in 45 minutes. The electrification plan also includes increased frequencies of at least every 30 minutes all day
