An MBTA commuter rail train collided with a small boat left on the tracks of the Fitchburg commuter rail line between Cambridge and Belmont around 12:15 a.m. early Wednesday morning, Transit Police say.

Photos posted by MBTA Transit Police on social media show the small wooden boat with a gash in its port side at the Porter Square station.

Cool man, you do you.

Myself? I wanted to know what kind of boat was involved. The OP article was geofenced, the quote of kindly posted here only says "small wooden boat", but the transit cops OG public statement includes a few photos.

We might prefer public agencies didn't use commercial social media platforms for their public comms but thats larger conversation...

Nothing about it was important enough for you to give traffic to Musk the moron.
