MBTA Commuter Rail riders stranded on dark train before walking along tracks

Dan Brogan talked about the hourslong ordeal on the Providence Line of the MBTA Commuter Rail. Passengers on the MBTA Commuter Rail were stranded on a dark train for nearly two hours before they were able to leave and walk along the tracks to the Ruggles stop in Boston. The delay was caused by a mechanical issue caused by fall leaves, which can create a slippery film on the tracks and cause problems with the wheels while braking. The MBTA says passengers were transferred to another train and no clear messaging, communication, or overhead announcements were provided. The incident occurred after a MassDOT conference where discussion was focused on improving rail reliability.
