It was a rough morning for about 120 people who were told to leave an Orange Line train that lost power Saturday, and walk to a nearby subway station in chilly temperatures.
“At least” one passenger left the train before help arrived and walked to Community College station in Boston on their own, MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo said.
There were roughly 120 people on board the train, which lost power around 7:30 a.m. The train is one of the new models, Pesaturo said. Orange Line service was still suspended between Wellington and Back Bay at noon on Saturday, “while the MBTA determines the root cause of the power problem and performs inspections of the tracks in that area,” Pesaturo said.
Orange Line train service was operating between Forest Hills and Back Bay by 9:30 a.m., and trains are also in service between Oak Grove and Wellington, Pesaturo said.
