813 had only 4 coaches!

a 345 dept. from South Station, 813 today only had 1 single level, and three double decker coach's. This train is usually 2 single and at least 4 double deckers. It must have been a packed train!!

why would the MBTA put such a small train, it looked like a readvile shuttle train, on a rush hour, Providence bound train? The scheduled train must have run into problems before it left Boston

is 3:45 really "rush hour"? I don't think many people get off work that early.

the 215 train is full, and that is 6 single levels, i have been on the 435 train, and it is packed after back bay, even w/ 6 coach's

It's about time the Southside gets shafted. I'm sick of the Northside always getting crapped on, now it's your turn.....

Yes Ron, that train is usually pretty full.


I saw the set that F40 is referring to and was surprised to see it around all week.

My trains have been running short all week. Most Worcester trains usually have 4-5 doubles and 2-3 singles, but always 7 cars. This week most morning trains have been runnng 6 cars. Or this morning 7 cars, but one without heat ( it was closed off ).

My guess is that the T/MBCR is having trouble keeping the heaters running in the cars this week and are dropping cars with broken heaters.

Worcester has some 6 car trains

Was it a misserschmitt? they lose heat a lot.

It was, car 512. I had the same trainset on the way home tonight and it was closed off, dark and frozen. I felt really bad for the guy who went into the freezer to use the bathroom.

Still warmer than riding outside. LOL

haha yea thats true
