Trolley services on the Mattapan Line were suspended early Tuesday due to severe flooding from the Neponset River, which submerged the tracks. Passengers were stranded in a trolley at Milton Station, prompting a response from the Milton Fire Department. Shuttle buses were utilized to replace trolley service until regular operations resumed with delays. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and the incident highlighted the impact of upstream water overflow on local infrastructure.
The flooding caused a power issue, leaving one trolley's operator and six passengers stranded, with the Milton Fire Department conducting the rescue.
The flooding was caused by an overflow of upstream water, submerging tracks and prompting the MBTA to suspend trolley services and deploy shuttle buses.
