Franklin and Foxboro Line Schedules Altered After Hyde Park Fire Damages Signal Equipment

Trains at Franklin and Foxboro are still on a different schedule following last week’s fire near Hyde Park Station. Franklin Matters reports it was a downed Amtrak wire that touched off a fire at a signal bungalow and MBTA officials say it could take several weeks to fix. In the meantime, officials say for the Franklin/Foxboro Line, inbound trains to Boston will bypass Forest Hills, Ruggles, and Back Bay Stations. All inbound trains from the Forge Park/495 station in Franklin will originate at Franklin Station after 9am.
