BOSTON — For the second time in less than a week, a Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority commuter train has operated with a door open.
The second incident happened Thursday evening on a Kingston-bound train departing Boston’s South Station. WHDH-TV quotes a passenger who took the video, Mary-Jean Kelly, as saying she left the train at Quincy Center [the second stop after leaving South Station] “and the door was open the entire time from South Station to Quincy Center.”
The station quoted a source as saying a preliminary investigation indicated a passenger had opened the door.
On Tuesday, a similar incident occurred on a train on the Middlesborough-Lakeville line. [See “MBTA commuter train opens with door opened on packed coach,” Trains News Wire, Nov. 13, 2019.]
