July 4, 1999; Boston (MA) fireworks show.

Train lines bringing in thousands of people to the harbor for the fireworks show that night.

Between 2200 and 2300 hours the various trains lines shut down for the night, stranding passengers from a return trip to their home stations & vehicles.

I remember that! I was living in Boston that year.

This was in the days before Uber and Lyft so those people were really challenged finding a way home.
