The Green Line's newest water feature.
Update, Wednesday, 6:20 a.m. The MBTA reports the D Line is back in service.
Grace Holley reports tonight from Brookline Hills, where a loud explosion shortly after 8:30 p.m. was followed by a torrential waterfall from a newly burst water main right above the tracks.
Normally I love water rides but this is a nightmare.
A second Green Line train approached waterfall but went into reverse and backed up, after a long wait.
Now police etc are on scene, lot of flooding on tracks. No more sparks. Right by Brookline Hills Station/Cypress St.

Since salty water conducts electricity better this should make the green line trains go faster, no?
that's some sound science

The T is unsafe at any speed and now the tracks will be frozen in this frigid weather. Pity the poor homeless who sleep at Fenway station who have been blasted with frigid water.
Not fenway

This is Brookline Hills and it was a water main break. That's not the Ⓣ that's Town of Brookline but ya, blame the Ⓣ! That's some great logic!
