WBZ reports the driver of the trolley that derailed near Riverside this morning didn't have proper signal authorization to proceed; had been hired just this past March.
Up to 20 minutes due to a trolley that switched to the track up to Valhalla, the MBTA reports.

The T, which plans to run shuttle buses between Kenmore and Cleveland Circle on the C Line and Kenmore and Fenway on the Riverside line for the rest of the night following this morning's derailment, says it plans to resume regular service on the two Green Line branches first thing Sunday morning.

It's one of 24 new trolleys coming online to add capacity for that fabled day when the Green Line Extension opens past Lechmere.
