BOSTON (WHDH) - A disabled Red Line train caused 20-minute delays after sending smoke into Broadway Station Monday afternoon, MBTA officials said.
The T reported delays caused by a southbound train with a “mechanical problem” at Broadway at 4:15 p.m.
Officials moved the train to Andrew Station, and fans at Broadway were turned on to clear the air because of smoke from a “possible motor problem.”
The delay comes on the same day T officials said a Red Line derailment earlier this year happened after gaps in routine inspection schedules.
