Red Line vs the cold: The cold wins

By adamg on Fri, 01/03/2014 - 9:02am

As Rich Davey predicted yesterday, the T has been having problems with the cold this morning. Red Line trains kept dying south of the city, leading to massive delays and eventually bustitution.

Several commuter-rail lines had weather-related delays as well, although, ironically, the Needham Line ran on time.

Why is that ironic?

In good weather, that line sometimes has delays longer than the time it would normally take to get from South Station to Needham.

One of the best Seinfeld quotes ever: "What's ironic?"

While I was out shovelling the Fitchburg/South Acton line trundled past as a double consist with a dead locomotive in the middle. I assume that's why there was a missing outbound run at about 8:15.

First Southbound train of the day died at North Station, something happened with the doors.
