MANSFIELD, Mass. — The MBTA warned commuter rail passengers about “severe delays” on the Providence Line due to an incident in Mansfield.
The T said a vehicle was on the right of way and trains could operate at reduced speed through a single track in the affected area.
Service in both directions on the Providence Line was affected, however, the MBTA said Stoughton Line trains were not impacted.
The T said the car was removed from the right of way at around 1:30 p.m. and regular train service resumed on the Providence Line. Passengers may still experience residual delays in both directions.
A passenger on board an earlier passing train in Mansfield posted a photo of the car close to the tracks.
