Car Stuck On Green Line Tracks In Brookline Stalls T Service
It appeared to have jumped a curb to get smack on the middle of the tracks.
BROOKLINE, MA — Well if it's not one kind of car derailment, it's another. Crews removed a car that was stuck on the Green C Line tracks on Beacon Street Tuesday morning. A photo of the car showed it completely across the outbound track with its tail stuck over the inbound tracks.
A look at the back passenger side door shows the phrase Bay State Trans. inside a pink outline of a map of the state.
By 9:15 a.m. the car, which was stuck on the tracks near 1284 Beacon Street in Coolidge Corner was gone and the trains were running again, while traffic was still suffering on Beacon Street headed into the city.
