Commuter rail from South Station out of whack; this is all something you can blame on Amtrak

It's a nightmare getting home on commuter-rail trains out of South Station because of an Amtrak train that took out one of the overhead power lines near Back Bay. Or as the T puts it:

Framingham/Worcester, Needham, Franklin/Foxboro Line & Providence/Stoughton Line passengers are experiencing severe delays in both directions due to a downed catenary wire & earlier disabled Amtrak train. All trains must operate on one track at Back Bay.

My train home from NYC this past Saturday was an hour or so late because of a disabled train ahead of us in Connecticut. We had to wait for it to be cleared and then take on the train's passengers - fortunately for them, our train wasn't nearly as crowded as the one I took to NY on Wednesday.
