Mattapan Line bad news came in threes: Trio of trolleys knocked to their knees

Mattapan Line riders had to take a bus for most of the day because of a cavalcade of trolley problems today. WCVB reports that when a trolley died at Butler this morning, the T sent out another trolley to try to push it to the Mattapan yard. But then that trolley died. So the T sent out a third trolley to push the two newly deceased trolleys down the short line. It died, too.
