Is anyone aware of an accident on the Red Line tonight? I was entering the gate at Central Square Inbound as a train rushed in blaring its airhorn. I looked in and all of the cars were vacant. It shot through without stopping and--I'm not sure if it was the station or the train--but there was a heavy stench in the air like burning dust.
Then I got on a train and it stayed in the tunnel between Central and Kendall for 5-10 minutes. When it got to Kendall it sat there for another 5 minutes opening and closing its doors periodically.
At Park Street the loudspeaker was warning passengers to stand behind the yellow line. I rarely hear that message.
Anyway. It was just a bizarre chain of events. Is it typical for a completely empty train to rush through a station without stopping?
