Red Line Service Resumes Day After Train Derails At Broadway MBTA Station

Kristina Rex | CBS News Boston

“Regular Red Line service resumed Wednesday morning with a speed restriction between South Station and Broadway, a day after a train derailed at the Broadway MBTA station in Boston.

It happened around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday when the second car of a six-car Red Line train rammed into the platform and derailed at a slow rate of speed. No one was hurt and all 47 passengers safely got off the train.

It caused a commuting nuisance, with some shuttle busses packed with passengers.

‘We're dealing with this pandemic right now,’ said passenger Shawn Golden. ‘This is the worst time for us to be crammed up on a bus.’

As crews worked on the tracks after the derailment Tuesday afternoon, the train got loose and rolled away. No  one was hurt.”
