BROOKLINE, MA — Just before 1 p.m. a Green Line C train stopped on its way inbound, blocking Dean Road at Beacon Street. MBTA officials were on the scene, telling traffic to seek another way around that intersection.
Someone on a Green Line C Train immediately posted the news.
I don't know if the entire green line just went down but the C line definitely did. Send help. @MBTA

No word on how this will affect the rest of the C Line traffic this Mother's Day, but apparently the D Line is also experiencing issues.
