Commuter rail oopsie

[dmaze]

Even though it's not a scheduled stop, there's a commuter rail platform at Oak Grove station at the northern end of the Orange Line. I was on my bike in the vicinity having approximately followed the line back from Reading at about the time the outbound train came through, and figured it would be a good chance to see what was up there and to watch the train come through.

Turns out that, even though it's not a scheduled stop, if the engineer sees someone waiting on the platform he'll stop the train. There was some waving at the conductors to try to convince them that, no, I wasn't actually interested in getting on per se.
