Location

Somerville train station, eastbound platform

Participants

Jevanyn

Plans

I commute to my current job by train. On returning from work, I'll walk over to the other platform and capture the flag.

Expedition

OMG it's in Somerville! Who wants to meet me at the train station at 6:15 and walk over? -- Jevanyn 09:54, 30 November 2012 (EST)

This expedition is good for a Walk geohash, since I walked from home to the station that morning, and a Public transport geohash achievement, since I did take the train back from Newark on the way to the site. It might also be a Deja Vu, since I was there before Friday. -- Jevanyn 09:34, 2 December 2012 (EST)

It's technically not an Admit one achievement, since you don't have to buy a ticket to go up to the platform. -- Jevanyn 09:35, 2 December 2012 (EST)

Photos

Is this the right place?
The (westbound) train I just got off of
The view east (Newark-bound)
The view west, toward High Bridge
The view north, I think there's an H&R Block in that building
Not sure if it's "Art Deco" or "Steam Punk"

Achievements

This user earned the Walk geohash Achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2012-11-30 on foot.

This user earned the Public transport geohash achievement

by reaching the (40, -74) geohash on 2012-11-30 using public transit.

Also qualifies for a Deja Vu, since I'm here every day, and an Easy geohash, since it's mere feet away from my daily commute. I already have those ribbons, though.

Jevanyn earned the Home Front Geohash achievement

by reaching a geohash in my hometown, at the (40, -74) geohash on 2012-11-30.

Does not qualify as an Admit One, since you don't need a ticket to enter the platform. Does not qualify as a Speed Racer, because the train stopped at the station.
