Red Line on fire again, and just in time for rush hour

UPDATE, 6:10 p.m. Firefighters confirmed fire is out, get off tracks, T to restore power.

Today's track fire is by Charles/MGH and, of course, it's causing delays - not to be confused with the morning delays caused by signal problems as JFK/UMass (maybe the T needs to stop giving stops dual names).

This is the first Red Line fire since last Thursday.

Red line terrible

I was late for work this morning and now I am late getting home
Sitting at Quincy Adams waiting to go home
The red line service is terrible
I want them to stop "apologizing " and get the trains moving!

it could be worse

Fires on the red line are acceptable using as skateboard as alternative transportation dangerous. there is something wrong with our transportation policy

....

People always need an excuse to complain about the T. I gotta tell you, our transit system is nice compared to just about every other one in the country, and just like every other subway, it breaks down. At least our subway is air conditioned and doesn't smell like piss (for the most part).
