Signal problems force Red Line to slow; for riders, that just means more woe

Signal problems between Alewife and Harvard mean "moderate" delays, the T says. At 7:57, Kris Kream tweeted:

Nothing coming or going northbound Braintree. Stuck at North Quincy 15+ minutes.

I just got on at North Quincy at 8:03. Only waited two minutes for the train to arrive and it hasn't slowed down at all. Problem solved!

replete with fist bumps from Darrell and Jim (who is BART and who LA Metro?).

Sometimes these delays are for good reasons

Two nights ago at Andrew my wife told me she was on the platform when a guy jumped on to the tracks while being chased by cops. The cops had to fight him on the tracks and they were all lucky they weren't electrocuted. No idea why they chased him on the tracks but it must have been something serious.

Switches AND signals today.

Switches AND signals today. Considering the MBTA just splurged on a fleet of new cop cars for their transit cops, certainly they have enough money now to fix these ailing switches and signals.
