Acela navigates the switch
This Acela had to switch tracks to avoid a broken-down commuter rail train, which is hidden in this view. (I was waiting to get on that commuter rail train...)
Since the commuter rail train was right on the other side of the switch, until the last moment it appeared like they were going to crash. Someone on the platform thought that's why I was taking a picture -- to see the crash! Nah, this isn't 1850, that kind of thing doesn't happen. Someone else explained that I take pictures of trains all the time ;) Yes, and I think they look cool going through the switch, something I rarely catch.
