Train's crawling to Porter

Does anyone know why trains moving from Davis to Porter have been so lethargic of late? Could it be a noise issue similar to the one near Harvard?

Thanks.

Actually, the reason why the trains go slowly through that spot is because it's a very sharp curve and the 6-car trains can't physically take it at regular speed.

The curve evens out by the time it gets further on up Mass. Ave, and you can hear them rumbling by if you're in the basement section of the Harvard Bookstore.

You can also hear them in the basement of Pandemonium at Central. It's kind of hilarious, although it makes for far too much "fun" with audio when I'm shooting down there.

Crapola, confirmed!
