    Apparently if it's behind by 5m it's considered delayed.

    We are en route. Apparently the "cafe" car is closed. Will figure out what's going on.

    You're in the wrong car then. We're towards the back near the quiet car, kicking back with a little mario kart. I'm standing out on the platform at each stop with a Fruit Fucker flag, so look for me if you wanna come back here where the action is :D

    We're in the car directly in front of the cafe car, behind the quiet car. Pretty packed up here though, not sure if you can find a seat.

    Lava Line has arrived. The bus ride wasn't as bad or long as I thought, but the unexpected 2 1/2 hour layover at the train station in Albany was a bit grating. We even got Amtrak to get us on a train from South Station to Back Bay for free. I'm expecting the group picture we took to be posted soon. Good riding with all of you.

    Stone Line somehow managed to arrive in Back Bay safe and sound, as well. And no one was kicked off for waving a fruit fucker flag.

    That bus driver didn't seem to know what he was doing, he almost ran a couple cars off the road and almost took the wrong turn twice. But at least he got us into Boston really quickly. This trip was really long, but it was fun.

    I was toward the back and sleeping or swerving myself in MarioKart, so I didn't notice either way.

    BTW, I, my wife Nakesha, and Daniel are staying an extra day on Monday, so unfortunately we won't be on the PAX train back. Maybe next year.

    It should say on your ticket, mine says South Station (last I checked) so I have to go with there.

    ...But I could be wrong.

    Posting this here so I can find this later, and so people from Sheraton who are on the train can see a projected route to South Station to get on the train.

    Go to Back bay:

    1. Head east on Belvidere St toward Huntington Ave 0.1 mi
    2. Continue onto W Newton St 36 ft
    3. Turn left at Huntington Ave 0.3 mi
    4. Continue onto Stuart St 459 ft
    5. Turn right at Dartmouth St 384 ft

    Approx. 11 minutes

    Buy ticket on commuter rail inbound, good times:

    08:58 - 09:18 - 09:44 - 10:12 - 10:50 - 11:15

    Cost: $1.70 per person from Back Bay to South Station, arrives 5 minutes after departure.

    Chill at South Station until bus arrives, meet up somewhere (Lounge car again)? Anyone else taking the bus out at 11:55am?

    So the dozen or so of us left on the Lava Line are riding in a haunted train car. If we don't make it back by tomorrow, warn the nation of the spectral threat roaming its rails.

    I have to agree. We stayed an extra day and it has rained non-stop. We ran into one PAX couple at the Museum of Science, and there's one couple on the train back now, but no one but normal people are in the lounge car.

    You fixed the shit out of that door. One of the staff almost broke it again after you got off, but it was fine the rest of the trip.

    Also, reporting in back at home. :D

    Figured I would upload the pictures I took while on the train, from the Rockies to Chicago to Albany. Mostly scenery, of course.

    I also posted it onto facebook for those of you that ended up being my facebook buddy. Please tag that photo with people you know.

    3 girls out of 24 people ain't too bad of a ratio for PAX ;). Hopefully more fellow geekgirls next year!
