I waited in line for the 2 o'clock train in Back Bay Station despite warnings that it was sold out. They opened the gates and let people in; I was about 30 people in when they shut the gates . . . So I thought I'd have to wait for the 3:45 train.

Talk about an emotional roller coaster. They opened the gates again, let another 50 or so people in, then a very nice man offered me a seat. I'll be in Providence before 4.
