Deja vu: That strange feeling we sometimes get when a water main bursts over the D Line

Burst water main floods Green Line in Brookline Hills

Grace Holley shows us the cascade of water now pouring onto the Riverside Line from a burst water main on an overpass at Brookline Hills - just like the cascade of water that poured onto the Riverside Line from a burst water main on an overpass at Brookline Hills on March 17.

Needless to say, nobody on the Riverside Line is going anywhere fast. Or at all.

The destination of this train is Riverside #mbta #greenlineproblems pic.twitter.com/h98snP1Xmx

I had to get off at Fenway and take a shuttle. I lost half an hour. Considering everything, not bad.
