NECN reports that investigators will re-create last Wednesday's green line crash (minus the crash part) in Newton this afternoon. Officials have determined that the train that crashed into another train was going nearly 30 miles per hour faster than it should have been, and have verified that traffic signals in the area were in working order. The MBTA would like to find out what happened last Wednesday in order to determine the reasons for the crash and to prevent a similar tragedy in the future. The test will take about three hours, and the green line will be closed for it. Passengers will be bussed from Newton Highlands to Riverside during the test, and green line service is expected to return to normal for the Monday morning commute. more ›
