Yesterday, we recounted Trevyn Langsford's saga about missing a performance of a Somerville musical about the T because he was on a Red Line train behind another Red Line train that had died near Charles/MGH, and then he and everybody else was ordered off so his train could push the disabled train out of the way (well, to a train yard).

Tim Murphy reports this hawk rode a BC trolley from the Government Center loop to at least Arlington, where he snapped these photos, today, wonders if anybody had the heart to tell the hawk that BC is probably the wrong school for it.

A roving UHub photographer reports he rode the Red Line from downtown all the way down to Braintree this afternoon across from a woman holding two signs - the one in the photo above and the one behind it, that read "Following Jesus to the End." He adds:

She was surprisingly normal. Sat there quietly until pulling into Braintree and the signs slipped out of her hands and hit my foot. "Oh my goodness. Forgive me." We both laughed.

The day started bright and sunny and flamey on the Orange Line, when a fire erupted along the third rail near Sullivan Station. The T reported at 6:54 a.m., that its workers extinguished "the small fire," and service resumed, but with delays through the morning rush. Read more.

Kenmore Square turned into a trolley graveyard this morning, after one just left this mortal coil, jamming up the works. At 9:51 a.m., the MBTA reported it was still bustituting riders on the C and D lines, while B Line riders were able to ride the rails once again.
