Boston Green Line Restores Service After Track Clearing

MBTA Green Line E Branch resumes service after obstruction caused 20-minute delays

Green Line E Branch Returns to Normal Service

Boston's Green Line E Branch has resumed normal operations after delays cleared Sunday afternoon, transit officials said. The MBTA confirmed service returned to regular schedules following 20-minute delays between Fenwood Road and Mission Park stations. An obstruction on the right of way caused the disruptions before crews removed it.

Obstruction Cleared from Track Area

The delays stemmed from an obstruction blocking the right of way along the E Branch corridor, according to the transit agency. MBTA crews responded to clear the blockage and restore normal train movement through the affected section. Officials didn't specify what type of obstruction caused the delays or how long crews worked to remove it. The E Branch operates as a surface line through this section, running along dedicated right of way between Brigham Circle and Heath Street.

Twenty-Minute Delays Affected Two-Station Segment

Service delays of approximately 20 minutes affected the stretch between Fenwood Road and Mission Park stations during the incident, transit officials said. The two stations serve the Longwood Medical Area and Mission Hill neighborhoods. Officials didn't provide details about how many trains were delayed or how many riders experienced disruptions. The MBTA confirmed the delays through its official social media channels on March 15.

Normal Service Resumed Sunday Afternoon

The transit agency announced service had returned to normal operations Sunday afternoon after crews cleared the obstruction. Officials didn't specify the exact time when delays began or when full service restoration occurred. The MBTA typically updates riders through its social media channels during service disruptions, providing real-time information about delays and restoration timelines.

Riders Can Expect Regular E Branch Schedules

Passengers traveling on the Green Line E Branch can now expect regular service frequencies and travel times, officials said. The E Branch runs from Lechmere through downtown Boston to Heath Street, serving major destinations including the Longwood Medical Area.
