Massachusetts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The day of the joint concert, the 3rd Trombone took a bus to South Braintree, changed for the Red Line, paid a visit to South Station, photographed some former New Haven Railroad RDC&#8217;s, took a spin on the Orange Line to Sullivan Square, and eventually arrived back at the concert to play his note.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unforntunately, karma caught the 3rd trombone, who did a subpar job of processing the Kodak Tri-X exposed on the big adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These days, catching four vintage RDC&#8217;s in commuter service would be a major coup.
