Why We Were Late: Train "Tips Over" on Orange Line

late.jpg
According the MBTA inspector we stalked into the Dunkin' Donuts at Haymarket Station, the Orange Line was shut down from Back Bay to North Station all morning because "a car tipped over at Chinatown."

When pressed for more info, the inspector only added, "everything's cleared up now." Offers to trade him a donut for more scoop nearly resulted in a Star Simpson style escort out of the area. Sorry. We're not cute enough to get away with that shizzle.

Here is all we know for 100% sure: an early-rising weirdo friend reported that the stretch of OJ line from South End to North Station was shut down as early as 6:30 this morning. Dreaded replacement shuttle buses ran until about 9:15 and traffic along the corridor is still a nightmare. Stay away from that hot mess if you can.

No word as of this minute whether anyone was injured. Let's hope not, share anything you know and stay tuned!
