Downed Wire Shuts Down MBTA Green Line's D-Branch In Newton

NEWTON (CBS) - Part of the MBTA Green Line's D-Branch came to a halt Friday evening after a power line came down on the tracks near Newton Centre Station.

Power had to be shut off so workers could repair the wire.

MBTA Police were helping evacuate passengers from a trolley that was forced to stop just west of Newton Centre station.

Shuttle service was running between Reservoir and Riverside Stations.

Service resumed around 10:45p.m. Friday night.

Just two days earlier, downed power lines forced passengers off the train on the Blue Line outside Revere Station at rush hour.
