So getting up to the platform proved a challenge. I heard the bell signaling that a train to the loop was coming. I got behind this very short woman walking up the stairs who was in the center of the stairway. THere was no way to pass her ... and there was no way to get her to speed up. I thought that I would miss the train and this petite woman seemed to not care if she did or not.

The train ride was pretty uneventful aleit LONG. I was really not aware of time while I was on the train. I arrived at my last destination later than I thought it was.

Again I was amazed by the politeness of people leaving the platform at Quincy. THe zipper effect really works.
