The train was approaching the Haymarket stop when the panel fell.
It’s not clear if anyone was injured.
The MBTA responded to Piemonte’s tweet, saying the issued would be “remedied asap.”
Hi Juliana. Thank you for reporting this. Orange Line maintenance personnel have been notified and will ensure this is remedied asap.

Officials tell 7News that an Orange Line supervisor boarded the train at Downtown Crossing, and secured the dropped panel.
Vehicle maintenance personnel are investigating the cause.
