Orange Line was delayed by burning trash; all that's left now is a heap of ash

Shortly after 11:30 a.m., the Orange Line came to a halt so a T employee could extinguish the trash that burst into flames between Malden Center and Wellington.

and taking trains out of service based on UNCONFIRMED reports of problems (as so stated in several recent "initial" text alerts). Interesting approach.

Then again, a suspected track fire MAY cause 10 to 15 minute delays. Taking a revenue train out of service because you suspect a track fire WILL cause at least 10 to 15 minute delays. So let's insure our alerts are accurate.
