Broken train at Haymarket caused fail cascade on Green Line
By adamg on Thu, 02/12/2009 - 5:43am
Interesting series of Twitter posts - all from different people - during last night's rush hour:
5:21 p.m.: MBTA is experiencing delays on green line due to disabled train at Haymarket
5:38 p.m.: Looks like major problems at Park Street outbound on the MBTA. All trains loading from one platform.
6:09 p.m.: just spent 45 minutes underground waiting for a d train. ...
6:49 p.m.: ... Six green line trains at Park St., but none of them C Line? Fail. Again!

great post
A piece of e-detective logic at work!
But what a horrible commute home for the folks waiting on the platforms...
Huntington/Rt9?
So does anyone know what was going on around Huntington at South Huntington that caused the E line to shut down and traffic to come to a stand still for hours?
So, what does an alleged disabled train at Haymarket
have to do with delays on the Riverside line? To quote the T alert I got at 5:42 pm:
"Green Line Alert - Green Line D Service is experiencing 15-20 minute delays due to an earlier disabled train at Haymarket"
BTW, I say "alleged" disabled train because I passed through Haymarket Station yesterday afternoon about the time the "disabled train" was reported to be blocking westbound (inbound) service. There was no train on the platform or anywhere in sight between Haymarket and either Government Center or North Station.
