Boston, Mass, everyone - some very exciting train developments for New England’s largest city 🚆

This part of the world has a deep racism problem. During my relative short time here, I’ve already seen numerous obvious examples of it. So I hear what Culpepper and Worrell are saying. Whatever you think is the best way to address travel discrimination, access denial, we hurt ourselves if we don’t make a real investment here.
