Dead train at Reservoir around 8 a.m. means no inbound service, natch. And no announcements on increasingly crowded platforms, either.

Some commuter-rail passengers didn't fare much better.

Trains die on three of four subway lines

So far this morning trains have had to be taken out of service on the Red, Orange and Riverside lines. The E Line is stopping at Brigham Circle because of a car accident further up the line. No word yet from the Blue Line.

Buses along the D this morning after a trolley decided it couldn't stand being on the tracks any longer (Ed. question: At Reservoir?).

People who want updated T alerts should follow the MBTA on Twitter.

8:45 update: MBTA.com is back up with delay information.

Dead Orange Line train at North Station. Phil R. reports in from Reservoir:

No working signals & MBTA personnel at every stop between here and (at least) Newton Ctr. NOT A GOOD SIGN

The hidden homeless

Invisible Man

Sean Haire captured the scene this morning at the Reservoir T stop.

D Line closed for the entire weekend

This is not how I like to find out about service disruptions:

The MBTA employees on site were as surprised as I was - they had only found out about it shortly before my arrival.

Personally, I'm tired of waiting for the MBTA web site to become fully functional
