He spent a weekend in Readville overnight

Bill managed to get on one of the trains actually moving between New York and Boston last night. Then a tree fell against the overhead wires in Readville around 11 p.m., caught fire and brought the Northeast Corridor to a halt again, with powerless trains just sitting on the tracks for almost 90 minutes. He reports:

After a 3hr 22 minute delay, Amtrak train 2170 arrives at South Station.
