We have a Braintree in Massachusetts too -- the Red Line goes from Cambridge through Boston down to either Ashmont or Braintree. So we hear "This is Braintree train... Braintree train" a lot.

That's twice today I've genuinely lol'd at your superimposed captions. :)
even funnier if the photo caption informing us that this ia "A toilet seat in an undated file photo." Thanks Reuters, I was wondering what alien contraption that was.
