2/10/10: When all 3 of your 3 hour classes get cancelled due to inclement weather, what do you do? Simple, you go out in the snow and watch trains, a simple concept. Im not exactly sure what made me take the hike to Newtonville as opposed to the other, CLOSER local locations on the B&A, but even though I had no car to sit/drive in, there I was, making the 45 (60 minutes with snow) trek off the T to the Newtonville MBTA commuter station, located at milepost 8 on the CSX Boston Subdivision, better know as the B&A. Without a car and holding an all-metal tripod, quick was not the right word to describe how cold I got once I got to the tracks, luckily a friend happened to be in the area waiting to taxi the Q122s crew to their hotel, so I had a vehicle to sit in after the first 2 hours of wind and freeze. Once that option was done for the night, I found salvation (and chicken), in the nearby KFC, then after Amtrak went by, I had no choice but to call it a night...it was COLD out there today.
