The Boston Fire Department reports evacuating 60 people from an outbound Braintree train that derailed at JFK/UMass around 6:10 a.m.
The department reports one person suffered a minor injury but declined an ambulance ride.
The T is reporting "severe" delays on the Red Line.

The T started running shuttle buses:

Shuttle buses for the red line derailment are already packed before they reach Dott Ave and Centre Street, the second stop northbound. @MBTA @universalhub pic.twitter.com/UiIw9wCMlN

Orange Line, you're next!
Does the T have a crisis manager? Should be a full-time job.

Seriously, does the T have a crisis management team? There is a need for experienced people in that role and with the T's massive payroll, they should be able to fund it. There are men and women who love this stuff and are very good at it, dealing with the immediate aftermath of derailments or unplanned things, coordinating shuttles and routes in an orderly way and generally demonstrating to passengers that someone from T has "got this."
One common theme in all of these things seems to be that nobody knew what to do after rescues were made and the immediate danger was neutralized. Hire someone experienced please, not a state rep's nephew with a bullhorn and no training.

Did they get that derailed train out of the way? Is everything back to normal switching problems?
