Green Line Derailment - 4/25/06 @ Lechmere

Just saw it on the 5:30pm news. Got a pic of it, here it is (hope you can see it). Can't see the car number from the shot.

Good thing Channel 7 was there to fill us in on the top story. Why is this even news? Slow news day? [eye roll]

No kidding. Doen't seem worth a chopper just to make some drama, but then again, if it was FOX they would have had a whole investigative unit there causing delays. Funny how when the Type 8 derailed at Norhteastern and landed half on the platform a couple years ago there was a lot of talk.

Look like a split switch to me. But also, did it collide with the train in front of it too?

At least they weren't Type 8s
