Secret nook, with TV and videos, found at MBTA rail yard

[John S]

For anyone who has ever ridden an MBTA train that was broken or delayed
due to lack of maintenance, here is something interesting to remember:

Somerville, Mass--

"The new manager on the late shift at the Somerville facility
immediately noticed something awry. Many of his workers seemed to be
taking long dinner breaks when they were supposed to be fixing trains
for the region�s commuter rail system.

An investigation led to a strange discovery hidden in a storage room: a
makeshift entertainment center, including three televisions, two DVD
players, one VHS player, surround-sound speakers, a video game system,
and DVDs, some of them pornographic, a transportation official said
yesterday.

The equipment, slyly camouflaged within the commuter rail�s massive
Somerville maintenance facility, even had an illegal cable television
connection that came through a 1,000-foot cable, said the official, who
spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is not yet
concluded."
