It happened again; I was late to work because some person got hit by a train. This time it was in Lawrence (2 stops before mine), and this time it appears to have been fatal. It took the T about an hour to figure out what to do about all the waiting passengers; they stopped a northbound train at Andover and sent it back towards Boston to pick everyone up.

The problem with trains is that they run on tracks, and if something happens to or on the tracks, everything gets screwed up.

Quote from this entry: "Do not attempt to occupy a space that is about to be occupied by a moving train. The train will win, even if you get there first. And everyone on the train will be very unhappy and late to work."
