We saved the Freedom Trail for today, the coolest and least humid day of the week. When we reached the end, I was the only one who climbed 294 stairs to the top of the Bunker Hill Monument. Worth it for the view of the city.
After that we walked back down toward the Community College T station. When we got to the platform, it said a train was 3 minutes out. Then said it was stopped 1 station away. Then the sign on both sides of the platform changed to "no train service". At first we thought it was a glitch, but then they came on the loudspeaker and said that the orange line was shutting down due to a train fire. (Turned out to be a track fire, but a train had to evacuate.)
So more walking back across the river, then we picked up a green line T by the Science Center to take us the rest of the way to North Station. While we were waiting for our commuter train, the track fire was breaking news on TV.
