Disabled train. I was on the train that caused all this mess. Felt a small jolt and then the driver was pissed and yelling that someone told him to go even though the signal told him not to.

They told us it was a signaling issue. It’s hard to tell if the train derailed or not - they didn’t say it did but the jolt, yelling, and the fact that it’s such a mess makes me think it did. If it did it happened when we’re going very slowly.

I’ve seen confirmed reports that a train is disabled, and unconfirmed reports that it derailed. Two trains stuck behind it and they are evacuating passengers through the tunnels. Derailment seems likely, otherwise they would just reverse the other two trains back to the Kenmore. Also, sounds like it happened at the switch where the E branch separates form B/C/D. No injuries, but definitely a mess.

No derailment that I saw. Friends and I were on one of the trains and had to be escorted by firemen from between Hynes and Copley to Copley via walking the tracks. Just looked like all of the trains were at a standstill for seemingly no reason (heard track and signal issues as possible causes)

Shout to all my fellow Celtics fans who walked out of the Garden after a miserable overtime loss and had to find out this news on top of it. What a lovely surprise

To say the green line is chaotic right now would be an understatement. I had to walk from Park St to Hynes because the hastily put-together shuttle service was very late and it was VERY cold outside. Red line conductor said there was something wrong at Copley, but can’t confirm what happened.

In any case, shame on the MBTA.

High 30°s in January is “VERY cold” now? You must be new here.
