It's a mess on the Green Line tonight due to a "minor derailment" of an outbound trolley between Hynes and Kenmore.
MBTA spokeswoman Lydia Rivera says trolley 3602 derailed around 6:15 p.m. after leaving Hynes. No injuries were reported and passengers were evacuated through the tunnel to Kenmore, Rivera says, adding the T hopes to have repairs made by 8:15 p.m. In the meantime, it's shuttle buses between Kenmore and Copley in both directions.
Scott Madin reports:
Just sat on a C train between Hynes and Kenmore for half an hour before being evacuated & walked down the tunnel to Kenmore
Chris Girard reports:
Fiancee just spent 30min between Copley & Hynes b/c of "switch problem." MBTA had passengers walk through tunnel to Hynes.
He adds she didn't have any more luck with buses:
Fiancee then walked from Hynes to Kenmore to take 57 Bus to Allston, but that bus was rerouted to Copley to be a shuttle
Catherine Himberg reports T workers and announcements were telling passengers delays were due to a signal problem:
Signal issue is unfortunate, even more so is the girl saying "we're underground, who cares about the traffic lights above ground!"
At least the Sox are in Tampa.
