Just now: Haverhill Line suspended between Andover and Lawrence for a 'track issue'. I bet there's a broken rail from the extreme cold this morning.
Haverhill Line passengers may consider taking the Lowell Line from Anderson/Woburn. There is a large parking lot to accommodate passengers.

Summary: non-revenue extra ("draft") derailed just north of Andover going through an interlocking, where "the track structure failed" (don't know why yet), trapping 5 of 25 north side trainsets. Thus they cancelled 447/450 and 051/052 - but "we expect the track to be back early this afternoon".

Worcester Line Train 537 (7:20 pm from South Station) is operating 15-20 minutes late between Framingham and Worcester Station due to a track problem.
