Electrical fire today at West Newton messed up the signals on the Worcester line. Looking at 10-30 minute delays for all trains until they get it fixed.

Right now Keolis is tweeting that due to fire department activity, #124's passengers are being bused to Beverly to connect to an inbound train.Newburyport trains were running fine, but some Rockport trains were bussed, and others were as much as 90 minutes late.

Train 821 died at Mansfield. I was on the train behind it, Train 823 (6:50 pm from South Station), which was able to creep into Mansfield station enough so that passengers could exit from the front two coaches. Fortuately I get off at Mansfield anyway. When I walked down the platform it looked like they were connecting 823 to 821 so it could push 821 to Providence. Those new engines can't come soon enough!
Providence/Stoughton Line Train 842 (7:26 am from Mansfield) delayed 30-45 minutes today due to an Amtrak signal problem

Based on my emails, the "signal problem" actually started yesterday, but after the morning rush, so it impacted fewer people (it seems to be primarily affecting inbound runs).
