Red Line can't take the heat

By adamg on Thu, 06/21/2012 - 9:46am

A third-rail problem on the Kendall side of the Longfellow means delays in both directions on the Red Line, as in, power had to be shut off between Park and Kendall so workers can fix it. At 9:41 a.m., Alice B tweeted:

Just deboarded at Central. Red line inbound not moving due to 3rd rail fail at Kendall. No inbound trains for at least 20 min

UPDATE: T announced at 9:52 a.m. the problem was fixed and that service was resuming, with, of course, the ever popular "residual delays."

The red line rise from the dead better than lazarous. The platforms are hotter than Dantes Inferno and the next problem will be the air conditioners breaking down.

There was already a speed restriction on the northbound side then.
