Crush Load

A medical emergency at Olympic Village required Translink to shut down one of the Canada Line tracks. The disembodied voice at the Broadway terminal warned that trains are at "crush load". That term actually exists: "In the context of transport economics and planning, crush load refers to the maximum level of passenger load for a particular vehicle or rail carriage. Crush loads are calculated for the number of passengers per unit area, standing up." (wikipedia.org). And so it was.

Such an excellent adventure, and lots of fun with Cary and Lori. I made it as far as Gold Stone Pass at mile 46 but missed the cutoff there. Big congrats to Cary for getting the job done. And big thanks to Lori for being such a great Sherpa.

Rest in peace sweet angel. You mattered. You made a difference. You will be remembered.

You are loved.
