I think it's a commuter train, not Red Line

the MBTA alert page says:

Middleborough/Lakeville Alerts

Plymouth/Kingston, and Middleboro/Lakeville lines are being diverted to the Red Line between South Station and Braitntree Stations due to a disabled train near South Station. 7/24/2008 10:03 PM

Not Red Line

... but commuter rail, according to the MBTA service updates.

Could you link to the MBTA

Could you link to the MBTA links instead of the blog (which mistakenly claims the Red Line derailed)?
