Downed Wire Causes Major Commuter Delays | Boston News

Major commuter rail chaos this morning as multiple lines into Boston — Fairmont, Framingham/Worcester, Franklin/Foxboro, Needham, and Providence/Stoughton — face serious delays due to a downed wire. The incident began around 5:40 AM when an inbound train from Providence reported the issue at Back Bay, leaving it stuck for over 30 minutes. MBTA is rerouting trains to navigate around the problem, but delays of up to 30 minutes are expected for travelers heading into Back Bay and South Station. Crews are on-site fixing the damaged catenary wire, but no recovery timeline has been given. Commuters, brace yourselves — patience is key when the rails go haywire.
