Mrrzy, I'm in the Boston area but not marching. Just listening to the soundbites on the car radio. God bless the commuter rail operators. I guess the poor guys had those commuter trains on their usual Saturday/weekend schedule, that's to say fewer trains during the day. And there were so many riders converging on Boston from the 'burbs, using the commuter trains, that the train cars filled up to capacity.

The radio announcer described how the commuter rail people hurried to summon additional trains to pick up the riders left behind on the platforms as the regularly scheduled trains, their cars filled to capacity and maybe a little extra, rolled past the stations without stopping.
