Train 804 from Providence had a mechanical this morning prior to Mansfield. A swift-thinking dispatcher asked 831 to do a quick turn at Mansfield, and pick up 804's passengers and run on 804's schedule inbound (Sharon, 128, then BBY and BOS). Then the 804 got moving, and took up 832's schedule from Mansfield inbound (all local stops). This creative thinking minimized the impact on passengers; it was only 804's pax from Providence to Attleboro who ended up being 30 minutes late. Nice work!
