So much for the "too long" guess....
Ditto on the commentary.
Tnx for the wordss, but -- at least short-term -- I'll be going for lower-hanging fruit, as in the 0801/04-16 Worcester Main posting. And yes, I do hope our furry friends are grateful for their and my mutually-lessened stress.: It is getting near Deer-Dodging and Skunk-Slaloming Season. However, I w...
0734 and 0739/04-16-2024 XNG noise for Temple and Shrewsbury Streets, but none as of posting for Burncoat so mebbe a tie-down too long to fit New Bond to Burncoat.
Confirming a recent pattern, my gawking at Gardner et al. is on hold. To borrow phrasing from hedge funders -- those purveyors of the PSR pandemic -- the return on investment just isn't there. The reward has been diminishing for the effort expended -- however minimal that might be -- and it's gotten...
It does seem -- whatever the car counts might be -- that things are getting fewer and further between. Having exhausted the possibilities of PSR, a new acronym was needed. At least the MTO is a nonexempt position. Surprised that the requirements didn't include the ability to operate a TARDIS. At lea...
Per p.4 of Thomas Humphrey and Norton Clark's Boston Commuter Rail: Second Section , Boston Street Railway Association, 1986, the Lower Falls Branch was electrified between 1900 and 1930, ending when the Middlesex & Boston Street Railways changed from trolleys to buses on an intersecting line an...
...If memory serves, the B&A yard was where the Prudential Center now stands. The B&A passenger yard and commissary were located E of Mass. Ave. and were lost to the Pike, Prudential, and diminishing passenger business. There was also a minuscule B&A freight facility at South Station, S...
0220-0415/04-09-2024 started with Yard-Channel hash that included "427" and would end with Yard-Channel clarity that also included "427." In between, there would be occasional Dispatcher-side and Road-side hash with 1 bit of semi-clarity to be noted in a bit. At 0253, the 333 WLs...
0225-0425/04-03-2024 was quiet until 0233 Boston West hash. 0240 started some Road-side/Dispatcher-side exchanges. Both AY-3 and FI-2 would get mentioned later, so mebbe 1 or both of them. At 0256, Signal 1161 called the B&E, and 2 later the 333 WLs were dark. At 0301, the B&E called M427 x2...
0230-0420/04-01-2024 started and continued with radio silence, an apt start to April Fools Day. At 0301, the 333 WLs were dark, likewise for the 334s and 335s. At 0309, there -- finally -- was Road-side hash, and 2 later, a breaking 346.6 -- still GRS -- gave a no-deets-to-me no defects. Up Da Hill,...
The iInitial contract was under Patrick, but an additional contract was awarded under Baker, as were other questionable T-related appointments and decisions.
Choo-Choo Charlie Baker et al. may have gone, but their legacy lasts.
(Guess my New Year's anti-snark res didn't last.)
You're making sense. Stop it.
0225-0415/03-27-2024 had Yard-Channel hash at 0229, 0244, and 0247, at least some of which mighta been from M427, as will be seen. 0248 was when the B&E garbled something to FI-2 which produced a hashed FI-2 response which produced a "Roger that." The 333 WLs were dark at 0256, the sam...
0235-0435/03-25-2024 started at the start with Boston East hash, followed by someone on P&W Road telling someone else something about 1000'. 0239 was the time for CSX Boston Sub hash, and it would be 18 later for Boston West hash. 0302 gave more hash, but this time Yard Channel, but not 427, as ...
