On stone solo right at the quiet car. I am totally not a spy.
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
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.

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.

Same question, what is going down as far as getting back to south station? once we get to south station me and ekkosangen are set. the bus back to albeny, ny leaves at 11:55am if i remember correctly. need to know if amtrak will give us return "T" accesss to south station.
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?

<+Arco> You can totally bone with a baby in there. If you bump up against something, just apologize to the little dude and adjust.
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.

Gonna find that lounge car at the next stop
Shit! Too much paprika!
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH VOMIT IN THIS HAT?!
Pffff. Early? Half of us haven't even gone to sleep yet.
Standing in line in washington now. Looking forward to this.
Yeah, well, like, the website still says it's getting to my stop at the same time. So, ha!
what what what? Showing 12:05 at the gate
We are en route. Apparently the "cafe" car is closed. Will figure out what's going on.
Cafe/lounge/whateverthefuck car is near the center of the train.

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.

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.
