About this video: On December 9, 2023, the famous Army-Navy football game was held for the first time ever at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. As a result, the MBTA prepared several high capacity sets in preparation for the heavy ridership to Foxboro. There were two 10 double-decker coach long trains that ran out of Boston, which were created with two 5 car sets, with one being flipped around and attached to the back of another. Football trains also ran from Providence, Rhode Island, operating with 7 double-decker coach long sets. Shots that are seen in this video were taken in Norwood, Dedham, Foxboro, Walpole, and Boston, MA.

@@rail_spike_productions Haha! Also you hear about the chaos today? Green Line derailment, switch issue in multiple locations & SWC suspension after overhead wires fell over.

[@rail_spike_productions]

Sure did. And even with all of that, still not even close to some of the worst days on the MBTA 😆 Even now we are still having signal failures in Beverly
