BOSTON (WHDH) - Power problems are causing major delays for the Green Line’s E branch as shuttle buses replace trains between North Station and Lechemere.
Some passengers were even forced to walk along the tracks when their trains got stuck.
The MBTA says the train had a broken pantograph, which is the piece of the equipment that connects the trolly to the overhead wires which power it.
Utility crews have been on scene for several hours.
There is no timeline for when those problems are expected to be fixed.
Green Line E trains replaced by bus shuttles between North Station and Lechmere because of a power problem. View thread for shuttle locations and updates.
