The MBTA reports "severe" delays on the Orange Line due to a train that's dead on the tracks between North Station and Community College.

Not the best result- that would be no breakdowns- but all told not the worst result.

3 broken trains in 3 days. That makes an average of 1 a day.

4:15 and outbound trains are still running 20+ mins apart.

Headways like that a few hours after the breakdown is not excusable. I defer on this.

Multiple mechanical failures and cancellations on the Haverhill line today alone.

I cannot believe that the new locomotives are the worst performing, but there we are.
