Overview
- Framingham police confirmed a cargo train derailed at the Framingham MBTA station, blocking operations at the site.
- Traffic gates at Concord Street (Route 126) and Waverly Street (Route 135) are stuck in the down position, preventing crossings and prompting drivers to seek alternate routes.
- The derailment disrupted Framingham/Worcester commuter rail service, producing several delays of more than an hour and at least one cancellation and leaving some passengers to disembark away from Framingham station.
- Officials have not confirmed whether anyone was injured and say the cause remains under investigation while crews work to hook the derailed cars to another train for removal.
- Commuters should expect extended travel times until crews clear the tracks and investigators finish on-site work, and authorities say they will issue updates as more information becomes available.
