Orange Line Squirrel Gets Own Car Then Disappears

JAMAICA PLAIN, MA — This morning Orange Line riders were told to get off the train on their commute into Boston because somebody needed some extra attention. A rider tattled on another rowdy rider: A squirrel was bouncing around the seats, and in response the train stopped at Jackson Station for a bit to assess the situation.

"The train was held for 3 minutes at Jackson Station, while an MBTA official cleared the car on which the squirrel was reported by a customer," an MBTA representative told Patch. The 10 or so customers who were in the car, moved to other cars in the six-car train, he said.

When the train arrived at Forest Hills, there was no sign of it, the MBTA spokesperson said.

So the question remains: Where did the squirrel go?

Adam Gaffin at Universal Hub was the first to report on the squirrel.
