NEC Massachusetts tonight
Author: Wurli1938

#179 sat at Mansfield to night for over an hour and a quarter with a MBTA commuter sitting right on it's tail.

While waiting two regionals, two commuters and two Acela's came by in rapid succession heading to Boston.

What happened.

A trespasser came in contact with the overhead wire.

Thanks for the info.  I wondered why train 177 was 65 minutes late arriving New York and the Acela ahead of it was 70 minutes late.  I rode 177 from NY to Philadelphia.
