Hitting a double achievement on the #MBTA today -- traveling backwards (train reversing with passengers on board) while in the lowest numbered car in active service (not the oldest ... The Internet says that's 1616). Supposedly something is under the wheels of a train at Charles ( @universalhub )

#Boston #UselessAchievements #MBTARedLine

Thursday is off to a hot start. Every Charlie card machine at alewife is having network or system issues and cannot accept credit or debit cards. #boston #mbta #mbtaredline

I meandered to the station because I didn't need to catch that train, I needed to catch the next one, so why hurry?

Only to see that the train I barely missed was one of the new #MBTARedLine trains! Curses!

Harvard to Park? 14:01, counting stops. #MBTA #MBTARedLine

For those looking for an #MBTARedLine Update --

I had timed all of the stations from Park to Harvard, but it took so long that my Mastodon tab refreshed, killing everything I wrote. Part of that was the five minute / station wait due to the signal issues. However,

Park -- MGH: Still crawling, still lurching up the hill
MGH -- Kendall: Still crawling over the Charles
Kenny -- Central: Pretty nice, actually
Central -- Harvard: 3:29. Actually moves now, which is nice.

Red Line really not handling the partial shutdown, innit?#MBTA #MBTARedLine #ScheduleAdjustments
Fun sight on the #MBTARedLine today -- it's winter in #Boston, so we have to keep our third rails ice-free! (Hopefully the new trainsets can make this sign more visible ... the photo makes it look more apparent than it was in real life) #MBTA #PublicTransit
