Day One of our fest is complete.
We had a couple of mishaps, with 2 participants delayed an hour coming in on the Lowell Line and thus missing the Stoughton Line turn with the group, and another taking the wrong train at Back Bay Station and also thus missing the Stoughton Line turn.
Other than that, things went according to plan, save for some minor delays on account of signal failures near the city. Also Lyle McBride, not originally on the participant list, joined us for a short round trip between Attleboro and Providence, and lunch at Providence Place.
Anyway we accomplished riding the Stoughton Line, Providence Line, and Middleboro/Lakeville today. Tomorrow we go to Greenbush, Cordage/Plymouth, and Kingston/Route 3, and then we will do a little Green Line riding out to Boston College and Lechmere.
We most likely will scrub Saturday dinner at Cambridgeside Galleria since a few of us need to return to take Amtrak home, and others have made other dinner plans.
Meanwhile, the revolving door turns. Bill A. (Friday only) headed home on Acela 2173, while Jishnu (Saturday only) traveled Acela 2166 and arrived in Boston tonight. They passed somewhere in Connecticut.
Bill M. get ready for a bunch of late season mileage !!!
