BOSTON — A Green Line train derailed at Heath Street Station on the E branch of the line, the MBTA announced Tuesday night.
That derailment prompted the branch to terminate service at Brigham Circle.
“Shortly before 8:00 p.m., one car of a slow-moving, two-car train derailed just after departing Heath Street Station. The car remained upright, and three passengers safely exited. There were no injuries,” the MBTA wrote Tuesday.
Service on the E branch between Brigham Circle and Heath Street resumed just after 10:45 p.m. Tuesday. The Heath Street stop is the last stop on the Green Line E branch.
The train had only come out a couple of hundred feet from the station before coming to a stop when the conductor realized they had gotten off the tracks.
Service has been restored but this is the skateboard that is believed to be what caused the train to derail https://t.co/lF0AxQ8oEE pic.twitter.com/DHsBuQ9GkV
