Speak Stiltedly and Wear a Yellow Shirt

There was a crowd at the T stop this morning. That’s odd, I thought, and then I noticed the new Green Line trolley heading in the other direction. Aha! I thought. That explained it.

The new Green Line trolleys aren’t all that new anymore. Every six months or so the MBTA puts them back in service, until the next little derailment incident, and back they go in the T garage. Today they were creeping along (and it’s tough to go slower than the usual trolley crawl), making their tinny automated stop announcements. Mine didn’t derail, at least not while I was on it.
