I think at this point, we have to ask: Why do trees hate the Green Line? And are they starting to gang up on it?

Huh - I had no idea, because I travel in the opposite direction, but that's still the case: there are 11 runs between 6:22 and 7 every weekday morning that go from Dudley to Brighton Center. There are two back from there at 2:27pm, and an afternoon run in the opposite direction that serves Madison Park High.
Didn't know..

If a tree doesn't fall on the Green Line, will there still be delays?

Right of Way maintenance=more trouble with trees.
Good thing the tree didn't fall just in front of a moving train.
Actually, as I understand it, it is very difficult

(for a bunch of supposed environmental reasons) for the T to do even basic trimming of trees along their right of way, let alone removing ones that are about to topple onto the tracks.
Looks like it didn't actually fall on the tracks

Just the overhead wires.
