There was major disruption on the commuter rail to Canton last night, but there is strangely nothing about it in any of the news media that I can find this morning. I was on the Stoughton-bound train that left South Station last night at 6:30. When we got to Readville, we sat there for at least a half hour. The driver announced that there was something wrong with the track somewhere up ahead, whatever that means. I got off at Readville and eventually got home by a roundabout route involving two buses and a taxi. When I happened to drive by Canton Junction around 9:30 p.m. I saw policemen and evidence of unusual activity. This morning there was yellow police tape here and there at Canton Junction, apparently serving no purpose but creating a minor inconvenience and hazard. Some of the tape was only a foot off the ground at the top of a staircase. Obvious stupidity and laziness on the part of somebody. A fellow passenger told me that a person had been walking on the tracks last night and was hit by a train.
