#Massbytrain
When leaves fall on Commuter Rail tracks in the fall, they collect with debris, pick up moisture, and then are crushed by train wheels. This creates a condition called slippery rail, or a slick film of leaves on the tracks.
When this happens, trains are required to begin braking for stops sooner and take more time to pick up speed when departing a station, which can cause delays.
Our Wash Trains are there to clean up the mess! 💧 🚆This is a high-powered vehicle that is used in the heavily wooded routes where slippery rail conditions are most likely to occur due to fallen leaves. The high-pressure washer cleans rails at speeds up to 20-30 mph.

Happy #WorldSightDay! We are dedicated to helping raise awareness about vision impairment, blindness and the overall importance of eye health.
At North Station and Salem Station on the Newburyport/Rockport Line we have implemented @NaviLens to help guide our visually impaired riders safely to their destination.
Visually impaired people have difficulty using traditional signage and therefore cannot be autonomous in unfamiliar environments.
Visually impaired users can use @NaviLens codes, as they do not need to know precisely where they are placed.
