I thought the T created its own power?

But the stations themselves are on local circuits.

Not sure about the T station, but power is back on my street. Many thanks to BELD - in a decade this outage (approx. 90 minutes) is by far the worst I've experienced here. What a day for Red Line riders here on the South Shore!

The result of decades of deferred maintenance.

Years ago a political decision was made to sell all the power stations that produced electricity for peanuts.
