With no indication that there was anything wrong and no indication that there was no operator. They said they got onboard, the doors closed and the train took off as it normally would in the morning. They said it wasnt until they got to quincy that all of a slow down. The lights began to dim. And then they were stopped. They said the problem was they had no idea what was going on.
