Alewife Status: Station remains closed, with shuttles to Davis expected all week. We've added temporary supports to secure the roof so we can safely clear debris in the lobby & inspect the structure. Plans to open Russell Field headhouse to restore Red Line service are underway.

Small but interesting detail but in addition to seeing the rail control room with its big fancy screens, they also went to see the much less glamorous but no less important bus dispatcher room. It's the beige room in the 3rd photo.

#onthisday in 1900, a city photographer took this photo of the indicator board at Park Street Station. What's changed in the past 123 years? https://t.co/y0vkSNWWWE

@patrickww_ Yes, it's called a pull-apart and happens in extreme and sustained cold. You can engineer track to tolerate a range of temperatures, but in New England you have everything from 100F/37C+ to 0F/-17C

It appears a Norfolk Southern freight train has derailed and caught fire near East Palestine, Ohio.

[ATU Local 689 @ATULocal689]

It is with deep sadness that we learned this morning that a member of @ATULocal689 was killed at Potomac Ave Station. Our union family stands strong in this incredibly difficult hour and asks for respect and privacy for the family and friends affected as details are made public.

[TransitMatters @transitmatters]

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth! Each Thursday in February we will be highlighting an important topic in Black transit history.

🧵 First up: the Pullman Porters.

New 1/18/2023 T speed restriction list just dropped.

64 total speed restrictions (up from 52 on 1/4/2023)

We can't see all the RL ones (or BL, GL, Mattapan trolley) because T sends us cut off PDFs 🙃 More on that here: https://t.co/Pyr75RTW7m
