The T is reporting delays of up to 15 minutes along Beacon Street due to a trolley that diverted to Train Valhalla at St. Mary's.
Michael A.

The MBTA reports that a trolley on the C Line developed one of those embarrassing pantograph problems that keeps it from moving, at St. Paul Street, and so it had to summon the buses to provide alternative service along Beacon Street.
