It has been 0 days since last fire on the Orange Line
By adamg on Tue, 06/11/2024 - 10:07am
The day started bright and sunny and flamey on the Orange Line, when a fire erupted along the third rail near Sullivan Station. The T reported at 6:54 a.m., that its workers extinguished "the small fire," and service resumed, but with delays through the morning rush.
At 10 a.m., the T shut down the Orange Line between Wellington and North Station and rolled out some bustitution so workers could repair the damaged third rail.
The fire came the day after the T announced the elimination of several slow zones and other enhancements to the Orange Line during recent track work.

Orange line conflagration near Sullivan Station
635a
I was on the orange line around 6:35a going northbound to Sullivan.
Train was held at N Station
Train was held at Community College
Train was held about 500 yards from Sullivan.
I wonder if the fire broke out earlier than reported. Although I don't recall seeing any smoke or any activity when we rolled into Sullivan a few minutes later.
Was it leaves? Leaves were
Was it leaves? Leaves were getting caught on my commuter rail trains engine the other day and burning

Yikes. The orange line is such a zeek. Magoo
