Lm3r reported from Central Square around 9:20 a.m. that several MBTA workers were down on the tracks, apparently installing a new metal thingee that connects one of the rails to the ties - about the same time the T was reporting Red Line delays of up to ten minutes due to track work at Central.
The work meant trains pulled into other stations and just stayed there:
#mbta when your train is "standing by" with doors open at Charles/MGH and it's 2 degrees outside... must be Friday #mbtafail

How many T employees does it take to install a new metal thingee? Enquring minds want to know.
You need to look up

"Begging the question" as it doesn't mean what you think it does.
To answer your question, it apparently takes a LOT.
Wow. Usually you can't find

Wow. Usually you can't find any MBTA employees at station kiosks. Count how many are in this photo.

Looks like they need a steel-driving man.
