MassDOT and the T have pressed into service five commuter-rail locomotives (shown here in Worcester) from Maryland to see if they're worth buying. MassDOT reports the units were rebuilt in 1995 and are in "very good" condition, and could help ease problems caused by our failing locomotives until new diesels come online in a couple years.

Jacki reports on the new Tres Gatos bookstore and tapas bar:

[T]he restaurant is a delightful compliment to their hand-picked selection of books, CDs and vinyl. It will also make you feel like you aren't so much inside a trendy tapas bar, but rather inside someones living room. Which is a great thing if you ask me. Comfortable and intimate, the open kitchen adds to the effect of feeling like you are inside a house. A beautifully decorated, warm, cozy house that comes equipped with its own personal chef. The lack of signage out front only adds to its private home-like mystique and the ceiling above the bar was decorated with old worn-down doors. Pretty cool if you ask me. Okay I'll just say it… I loved everything about it!
