A broken drawbridge.

From the T web page:

Newbury/Rock #168 (11:06am ib) experiencing over 30 min delays due to Saugus Drawbridge stuck open. 11/19/2009 12:12 PM

So the train left at 11:06, and the alert was issued at 12:12. Yah, I'd say that's well over 30 minutes.

Issue non-payment tickets to people who actually paid for parking at commuter-rail stops.

Cory O'Hayer captured the visage of dead pitchman Billy Mays haunting commuters at the freight yard they call the Readville commuter-rail station.

Every single MBTA commuter-rail line is reporting "weather-related delays" this morning.

Red exclamation points of doom across the board

Ed. remainders note: Have you noticed how media accounts all seem to refer to the storm as "remnants of Hurricane Ida?" Sounds like we're under attack by what's left of the elite Republican Guard.

Massive delays.

Ben Jackson, a regular, tweeted:

For the THIRD TIME THIS WEEK, the 6:58 inbound middleboro mbta train is disabled and we might have to push it into Boston.

At 8:50, Conor Yunits tweeted his train was late and the message boards were useless:

Hey mbta, remember that Brockton to South Station commuter rail train that was supposed to come 20 minutes ago? How about an update?

This time in Franklin this morning, MBTA Transit Police tweet. NECN reports the man, in his 40s, was struck at the Fisher Street crossing. Train 1028, outbound.

Channel 5 reports the 18-year-old was hit on the Fitchburg Line near Belmont High School.

"Seek alternate transportation to avoid delay," the T advised, citing CSX switch problems in Worcester.

Ben tweets:

first time riding the commuter rail in a year and a half and there is a 50 minute delay. i forgot how much the train sucks. thanks mbta

" NEW Passenger Train Information System (PTIS)

The MBTA is pleased to announce that testing is in the final stages for the new PTIS (Passenger Train Information System). This upgrade will enable us to provide our passengers with real-time information generated directly from the train. Passengers will soon see train arrival information on electronic station signs (“Next train arriving in 10 minutes”). The system will also offer automated “next station stop” announcements on board the trains.

Peter McStravick tweets from an inbound Worcester Line train, stuck for 30 minutes somewhere between Yawkey Way and South Station:

They should change the name of this line to 'Worst'er!'
