MBTA Orange Line train door stuck open during blizzard conditions.

Then again, what would the recent blizzard be without an MBTA breakdown story?

Accordingly, a local television station’s news team reported that a door on an Orange Line train did not close and the train continued to roll for two more stops before MBTA employees addressed the problem by seeing the but one passenger off of the impacted subway car and then took the car out of service.

In turn, an MBTA mouthpiece then tried to make lemonade ouf this lemon of an Orange line car by noting that the car with the stuck door is forty-two years old and by next winter most of the ancient Orange line fleet of rolling stock would be replaced.

While Quincy Quarry must note via its related stories list post problems with just the Orange line, per the Quarry’s policy of providing balanced and fair coverage, it must at the same time conversely note for the most part other than some understandable delays and such, the MBTA managed to provide a commendable level of service during and after the storm.
