The sheared off shaft

The MBTA released this photo of what trapped some Green Line riders in a tunnel for close to 50 minutes and caused problems throughout the day on the C and D lines: A switch shaft that sheared off near Kenmore.

I'd be interested to hear the cause of the failure once it is determined.

Several hundred thousand people depend on that piece of machinery every day. Was the T doing the necessary inspections and maintenance?

I long for the days of Dan Grabaskiss running the T.

Is that what you are saying? See no fail, hear no fail, speak no fail - just FAIL?
