Severe Delays On MBTA Red Line
BOSTON (CBS) -- The T reported severe delays on the Red Line Thursday morning due to a disabled train.
A disabled train on the Braintree branch was the cause of the problems, the MBTA said on Twitter.
MBTA officials said a failure in the train's propulsion system resulted in a burst of smoke.
"There was a mechanical issue on a train at Quincy Ctr, not a fire," the MBTA tweeted in response to those on social media who believed there was a fire on a train.
The MBTA asked riders to utilize the Commuter Rail at Braintree, Quincy Center, and JFK if possible.
At 10:15 a.m., the MBTA said regular service on the Red Line had resumed.
