Trains fail, riders quail

By adamg on Wed, 02/26/2014 - 7:35am

The morning commute, like around 6:40, started with an inbound Red Line train kicked the bucket at Savin Hill and a Green Line train meeting its maker at Government Center - an occurrence that the T suggested to riders might be a good time to try out the Orange Line between Back Bay and North station.

As of 7:30 a.m., the T said things were back to normal.

At this point wouldnt a broken train be considered normal?

Just for comparison, can you also post articles listing all the incidents/delays on the highways and surface streets?

Adamg, at this point, do you have a spreadsheet filled with hundreds of different quips about trains not running?

Although the idea of getting ahead of things makes sense. And is depressing ...

According to a T employee at Lechmere station, there was overnight track work, and when the first train of the morning went through that area, the underside of the train was damaged.
