MBTA Orange Line floods during nor'easter; shuts down service
A long stretch of the MBTA's Orange Line was shut down for roughly four hours Thursday, after a nor'easter that brought heavy rain to Massachusetts caused flooding along the subway line. The MBTA first reported the flood conditions at the Ruggles station in Roxbury at 6:50 p.m., telling commuters that shuttle buses would replace service from Ruggles to Forest Hills, the end of the line. But by around 8:30 p.m., the T had shut down Orange Line service between North Station and Forest Hills. Shuttle buses replaced service between Back Bay and Forest Hills in Jamaica Plain, and riders were encouraged to use the Green Line to replace service downtown. The T also ran shuttles between Back Bay and Copley. Regular service between North Station and Back Bay resumed around 10:20 p.m., and the transit agency reported the delay had cleared by 11 p.m. The delays prompted some to voice their frustration on X.

Mattapan MBTA line back to normal after flooding prompts raft rescues
The MBTA Mattapan line has returned to normal service after flooding prompted several ice rescues on Tuesday morning. According to the Milton Fire Department, crews got a call around 8 a.m. about flooding in the area. Upon arrival, crews found a trolley trapped in the water up to four feet up in some places. 'You'd never thought you'd have to make an ice rescue off of a trolley before,' said Milton Fire Chief Chris Madden. Seven people were rescued from the trolley and the flooding came from the Neponset River after an ice dam caused water to overflow its banks. North Station commuters were also seeing delays and cancellations on Tuesday. Keolis warned of slowdowns on the Commuter Rail routes out of North Station due to equipment shortages. Mike O'Brien, like many, is looking forward to spring. That's when his job as a Duckboat tour guide starts up again. 'I'm done with this,' he said. 'This is the coldest it's been in, I would say, three years.' The cold weather is set to last through the end of the week, for the full forecast, visit the link here. This is a developing story.

Weather causes public transportation delays, cancellations in Massachusetts
The wintry weather caused problems for public transportation in Massachusetts on Tuesday. In Milton, passengers had to be rescued after frigid floodwater caused an MBTA trolley to get stuck. That wasn't the only trouble for riders Tuesday, as Commuter Rail riders faced cancellations. For Reading resident Bill O'Brien, delays aren't just an inconvenience, they determine whether he makes it to crucial doctors' appointments including his weekly chemotherapy at Beth Israel. "Even when you layer up, as you see I have, it's still uncomfortable because of the temperature and the wind we've had a lot of wind recently," said O'Brien. Tuesday morning's Haverhill Line commuter trains were canceled, delaying O'Brien's afternoon trip to Boston. "I understand that there was a potential ice-related matter," said O'Brien. The MBTA announced major cancellations and delays on the Newburyport, Fitchburg and Haverhill lines. Keolis, the company responsible for operating the Commuter Rail, blamed severe weather for equipment shortages on the north side of the system. Trolley stuck in frigid water Just before 8 a.m., the Mattapan MBTA trolley lost power at Milton Station when officials say water from the Neponset River overflowed onto the track and submerged the bottom of the train, the platform and sidewalks. Rescue teams took passengers to safety on an inflatable raft. "They took us out two by two, and we had on the life vests," said one stranded passenger who was rescued. In the meantime, commuters in Reading will continue to brave the brutal temperatures. "It's bitter cold, icy cold, frozen toes cold," said Reading resident Danielle. Commuters are hoping the freeze ends soon and they can return to normal. "The rails are completely frozen. It's scary, but how are people supposed to get to and from where they need to be?" said Danielle. During cold weather like this, the MBTA can implement speed restrictions to ensure trains travel safe through icy areas, which can contribute to delays. The company operating the Commuter Rail says trains traveling to and from South Station were not affected.
