Car On MBTA Tracks In Brookline Prompts Green Line Delays

BROOKLINE, MA — Green Line C branch service is back on (ahem) track after a car found its way onto the tracks and the MBTA was forced to suspend service just before 9:30 a.m.

MBTA officials said it happened between St Mary's and Coolidge Corner that a crash pushed a car up onto the tracks at Beacon and Hawes Streeet. Police and the MBTA warned that there may be traffic and Green Line delays as crews responded.

Police estimated the car would be moved before 10 a.m. And it appears that's just what happened.

This comes as several cars were stuck and disrupted service this summer:

• Another Car On Green Line Tracks Halts MBTA Service (July)
• Car Stuck On Green Line Tracks In Brookline Stalls T Service (June)

Breaking Transit alert.
