MBTA (Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority) discussion

[Bostontoallpoints]

The Green Line that derailed near Lechmere 2 weeks ago has been determined by the NTSB as operating at 36 mph in an area where the speed limit was 10 mph and passed through a double red (stop and stay) signal onto a switch that was in the process of changing, presumably to route the train to the Union Sq. branch.

This has to be the first time in a decade that an MBTA car went over 30 mph.
