This derailment highlights the urgent need for the long-overdue overhaul of the Green Line’s signal system. An upgraded system would likely have mitigated the overspeed that led to this derailment and could prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Even with the few slow zones that still remain on the Red Line today, this work marks a monumental point in the T’s efforts to eliminate slow zones across the network and fortify transit across the region.
Compared to early July, there are 3.6-minute savings northbound and 77-second savings northbound, bringing travel times back in line with pre-COVID averages.
