A group of climate activists attempted to block a freight train carrying coal to New Hampshire as it passed near Worcester Monday night.

Although in the past trains have stopped for such protests — this one did not. Nobody was injured. WBUR EarthWhile reporter Miriam Wasser was at the scene and fills us in.

This segment aired on December 17, 2019.
