As the temps begin to chill, a train dies at Savin Hill

The MBTA is blaming a deceased train at Savin Hill for mounting Red Line delays. Stuart Spina reports:
57 minutes to travel ~1,700 feet. That is all.
Jon adds some people are just walking:
Red line train delayed and abruptly taken out of service at Savin Hill. No further information, no @MBTA reps in sight, no shuttle busses. Passengers planning to walk home 20-30min as temps drop below freezing. We need a #FareStrike til they fix the T

" But baby it's cold outside "
"But my train" ( the trains run like shit )
And in Chilé
protests over a transit fare rise just caused the government to fall.
Your point
?
Presumably, that people in
Presumably, that people in Chile believe that it's possible to hold their government responsible for providing services and infrastructure that their residents rely on.
No
The country of Chile and the city of Boston couldn't be further from similar when it comes to public transportation. It's insulting to Chilean peoples to compare the two. We have boundless opportunities for employment here Americans just love to bitch and complain.
Yeah
Yeah, I'm sure it's the Chileans you're worried about being insulted.
The people in Chile
set the trains on fire in the train yards. Here the trains do that on their own.
Good thing we have all the new transit oriented development
so all those residents can wait on the platform for overdue trains with everyone else.
Don't Tell All The People in Somerville
paying $800,000 for a single floor of a triple decker, that actually - the Green Line blows . .
Winter resiliency upgrade did not work?
It was supposed to prevent this kind of weather-related problem.
Not all train mechanical
Not all train mechanical failures are weather related.
Happy Winter, Boston!
Enjoy it!
Did anyone catch American
Did anyone catch American Experience last night on TV? Great documentary on the first subway in the country here in Boston. I've seen other documentaries about it but it was very good.
The congestion in Boston in that era (1888 ish) made today look like a cake walk!
Interesting to watch how the city and private sector tried to ease the nightmare on the streets and how the then Mayor had to wrangle control from the private sector.
I agree
That was a very well done documentary. I pass the intersection of Boylston and Tremont daily, and have studied the history of the Tremont Street subway, but never knew about the gas explosion before this.
