00:00:11.039 --> 00:00:14.919
<v Speaker 2>Thirty six degrees in Boston at eleven o'clock, good Monday morning.

3
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:19.320
<v Speaker 2>It's March twenty fourth. I'm Sherry Small. The lane rain

4
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>rather letting up just a little bit in the city. Now,

5
00:00:22.760 --> 00:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>just light rain coming down in Boston. All right, let's

6
00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:28.239
<v Speaker 2>get you caught up. Here's what's happening. It's a moment

7
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.079
<v Speaker 2>decades into making, as the ribbon is cut on the

8
00:00:31.079 --> 00:00:36.280
<v Speaker 2>Commuter Rail South Coast Rail Extension. WBC's James Rojas reports

9
00:00:36.439 --> 00:00:37.320
<v Speaker 2>from South Station.

10
00:00:37.560 --> 00:00:40.520
<v Speaker 3>After the completion of six new stations, the commuter Rail

11
00:00:40.640 --> 00:00:44.119
<v Speaker 3>is officially transporting passengers to and from communities of Fall

12
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.840
<v Speaker 3>River and New Bedford. These two riders were on the

13
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.719
<v Speaker 3>first train to South Station this morning.

14
00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:51.280
<v Speaker 4>It was beautiful. I didn't fill a bump. It was

15
00:00:51.359 --> 00:00:55.399
<v Speaker 4>just lovely to get on. I lift two blocks away

16
00:00:55.399 --> 00:00:56.119
<v Speaker 4>from the station.

17
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.640
<v Speaker 3>The good job. William is among the first commuters going

18
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:03.159
<v Speaker 3>down to River. He calls this a huge accomplishment, but

19
00:01:03.359 --> 00:01:04.879
<v Speaker 3>that this should only be the beginning.

20
00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:08.200
<v Speaker 5>This is a great starter. Train service is better than

21
00:01:08.280 --> 00:01:11.439
<v Speaker 5>no train service, but we need to build phase two.

22
00:01:11.799 --> 00:01:14.159
<v Speaker 5>We need to get the people of Stoughton and Easton

23
00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.719
<v Speaker 5>on board with actually having trains in their communities because

24
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.799
<v Speaker 5>it can help them. That's what I think we should

25
00:01:19.840 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 5>do for the future.

26
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:25.239

67
00:03:39.639 --> 00:03:43.759

73

<v Speaker 4>The anniversary of Paul Revere's is in just a couple

74
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 4>of weeks, and a local organization in Concord had this

75
00:04:03.319 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 4>lantern commission to kick off the Revolutionary season.

76
00:04:05.960 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 5>So this is a slightly simplified version of the original

77
00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 5>Paul Revere lantern.

84
00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:32.759

<v Speaker 4>he was psyched to give back to the town in

86
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:36.800
