The T-Alerts are getting interesting. This one has some "Alternate Facts."Stoughton Line notice: All passengers on Train 915 will board alternate train at Canton Junction Station continuing en route to Stoughton.
Affected direction: Outbound
Affected trips:
915 (4:20 pm from South Station)

And more importantly, why does this keep happening?Amtrak's C&S crews worked as quickly and safely as they could, as did we Keolis crews that morning. Everything was pure chaos at the worst possible time and couldn't have gone and smoother, or quicker than it did. Takes time to get the spare parts, and install them. Interesting note, all the bulbs on the home boards on the Stoughton Branch (6E and the 4E) had to be replaced because of the power surge and the bulbs popping

Which direction is outbound on the Providence-Wachusett train, lol
