Trash fire at Haymarket station disrupts late-night riders
By adamg on Mon, 11/23/2009 - 11:18pm
A small trash fire on the Green Line tracks was extinguished by a Green Line driver late tonight, but there might be something else going on at Haymarket. Around 11 p.m., Boston_Fireman tweeted to expect delays on both Green and Orange lines. Green Line service in both directions was stopped, while power on the Orange Line between Haymarket and State Street was turned off. However, the T was given the OK to restore service on both lines around 11:40 p.m.

That explains the smoke smell
That explains the smoke smell at Government Center a bit after 11, though there were no delays in arriving Green Line trains.
The smoke from the Green Line
The smoke from the Green Line trash fire did make its way into the Orange Line tunnel and the fire department killed the power to investigate and confirm it was just the trash fire. Goog thing it was at 11 PM and not 5 PM.
