Overview
- The docket confirms the train entered a 10 mph zone at about 36 mph, passed a double‑red stop signal, and traversed a switch that was still moving.
- Investigators report the lead truck continued straight while the next two trucks took the diverging path, leading to a derailment that damaged the train and wayside signal equipment.
- Seven passengers were treated for minor injuries while about 50 others evacuated uninjured near the Red Bridge interlocking by Lechmere.
- Transcripts show lead operator Daisha Fauntleroy told investigators she could not have prevented the crash and felt unfairly blamed, while second operator Mark Turner said operators have ample time to slow to 10 mph.
- The MBTA says the lead operator is no longer employed and it is accelerating installation of the Green Line Train Protection System with stricter operating‑rule compliance.
