Green Line E Branch Resumes Normal Service

Green Line E Branch service has returned to normal after a disabled train at Magoun Square caused delays for riders. Transit officials said the incident temporarily disrupted service before crews cleared the train and restored operations. Delays peaked at 25 minutes before improving to 15 minutes and eventually returning to normal schedules.

Disabled Train Causes Service Disruption

The disabled train at Magoun Square required crews to respond and clear the affected track, according to transit officials. Disabled trains are among the most common causes of subway delays, typically requiring maintenance teams to assess mechanical issues and either repair the train on-site or move it to a maintenance facility. Officials didn't specify what caused the train to become disabled or how long the incident lasted before crews resolved it.

Delays Gradually Improved Before Full Restoration

Delays reached 25 minutes at their peak before transit crews made progress clearing the disabled train, officials said. Service improved to 15-minute delays as operations resumed on affected tracks. The agency didn't provide specific details about how many trains were affected or how many riders experienced delays during the incident. Officials confirmed service was fully restored, though the exact timeline from initial disruption to complete resolution wasn't available.

Service Returns to Regular Schedule

Transit officials confirmed the Green Line E Branch returned to normal operations after crews cleared the disabled train from Magoun Square. The agency typically monitors service for additional delays following such incidents to ensure stability returns to the line. Officials didn't say whether the disabled train was removed from service for repairs or returned to operation.
