I think I shall never see, a thing as trolley-unfriendly as a tree

Yes, another tree has taken out the Riverside line, this time by having the temerity to fall on the overhead wires near Longwood, sparking a brush fire. Massive bustitution and angst result.

Apparently not wanting to be left out, the C line got itself shut as well when an out-of-service trolley derailed at St. Mary's, Channel 7 tweets. More massive bustitution and angst result.

Some riders managed to get caught in both messes. Phil R. tweets:

First my D train was rerouted, then they told everyone going to Reservoir to take the next C train, which just sat there.

He says it took him two hours to get home.
