Despite leaving the battlements an hour early to reunite with his family. A weary #mbta #redline commuter remains stranded at #Alewife for over 45 min due to @mbta delays.

Father, I haven't been able to write as we have been conscripted into working on the #GreenLine extension. However in my absence, the #MBTA remains the same. #RedLine delays are as frequent as ever; and the @mbta winter preparedness program is non existent. We are doomed.

Martha, The MBTA's claims that all #RedLine, #Orangeline, #BlueLine, and #Greenline stations are being deeply cleaned is being met with widespread suspicion. The sick remain under quarantine, while the others must soldier on despite the filthy conditions. I fear we are doomed.

Brother, Hope is forever elusive. I soddenly write from the riverbank. Our MBTA #orangeline train has caught fire. Windows were shattered. We jumped in the river to escape. Tell mother and father I will not be home for supper.

August 13th 1863, As the sweltering heat wave breaks, the MBTA shutdown looms. In Union Square, both #Orangeline and #Greenline riders ponder their scarce and confusing travel options. Despair has turned to confusion.

August 15th, 1863 Mother, We have received a telegram from MBTA command. As the #OrangeLine shutdown approaches; I write to implore you to avoid the roads, for our wagon trains will paralyze the city. I fear we have not seen a disaster of this magnitude since Fredericksburg.

August 19th, 1863 Rumors swirl and trust deteriorates. The halt of the @mbta #orangeline looms ominously; #mbta leadership has fled the city on Ironclad ferries. I fear it is only a matter of time before the waterways will also soon be impassable.

August 24th, 1863 Father, Our daring campaign commences, and with it, setbacks. As the @mbta begins to repair the #orangeline, our crews have been outfitted with subpar tools. Derailments have already reared their ugly head. The 19th of September would appear a grand illusion.

September 14th 1863 Mother, Our #Orangeline work continues until the early dawn hours. We have received word that our @mbta #Greenline compatriots have suffered setbacks, but we persevere. We have been gifted an extra coffee & hardtack ration. I pray this was not in vain.

Beloved, Please forgive my late letter. We have just been transferred from #Redline repair work at Harvard. The roof caved in like heavy rain. The @Mbta wagons are slow. Please keep our #Greenline and #Blueline brethren in your thoughts and pray for us all.

Father, A storm approaches from the south. The MBTA has transferred us from the #Orangeline to oversee final repairs to the East Street bridge. The MBTA Commuter Rail has rationed tickets to Foxboro. Panic has set in. Pray for the commonwealth.
