Back Bay Train Delay Disrupts Commuters | Boston News

Commuters on the Providence Line faced major delays Monday morning when a downed wire on Track Two caused trains to sit for over 30 minutes—though no one was hurt. While other tracks stayed open, riders on multiple lines including Fairmount, Fitchburg, and Franklin saw up to 30-minute delays. The MBTA urged patience as crews worked to fix the issue, with operations resuming by 11 AM but repairs continuing through the day. Officials are still investigating how the wire ended up on the tracks—a stark reminder that even modern transit systems can hit unexpected snags.
