A tree that plunged to the Orange Line tracks around 11:50 a.m. caused "moderate" delays inbound from points north. To the re-leaf of riders, crews cleared the woody wreckage in about an hour, although the T was advising residual delays could persist for awhile.
A train that suddenly went to its eternal rest at Mass. Ave. didn't help matters.

where on the Orange Line?
Between Oak Grove and Malden Center
Earlier T alert indicated they were running shuttle buses between Oak Grove and Wellington due to a fallen tree. Most recent alert indicates service resuming with "moderate residual delays" due to earlier fallen tree.
wow
I hope no graffiti vandals spray painting the orange line wall were injured when the tree fell!1!
