Disabled MBTA Train/LASH UP! at Rte128 Station (2/3/11)

I arrived at Rte.128 Station in Westwood MA at about 5:45pm to find train 923 disabled with passengers waiting. A separate train coupled up to the back of the disabled train and the passengers waiting in train 923 were sent to wait inside for the next Providence train. After the second train coupled to the back of the train the outbound Providence train arrived on track 2 taking the 923's passengers home to providence after a 45-50 minute delay. I caught the lash-up between 923 and the rescue train which then tested its brakes and pulled the disabled train back into Boston. Meanwhile another disabled train caused a 4 hour delay in Fitchburg MA.

Nice catch!! I think it would have been a little more ironic if it were on of the new units the "T" just got! LOL!

Nice catch. I would love to see something like that in real life.
