Live wires that somehow fell from the Gilmore bridge set debris and old railroad ties on fire, causing thick black smoke visible for miles around and shutting down commuter-rail service into and out of North Station.

The fire broke out around 11:40 a.m. on the Cambridge side, bringing fire crews from both Cambridge and Boston and eventually setting fire to the underside of the bridge itself.

Jack Suslak tweeted from a train heading toward North Station around noon:

We are backing up our train to porter square to connect to red line not allowing any trains into Boston.
