Green Line service resumed Saturday evening, after a trolley derailed near Kenmore station in the morning, according to MBTA officials.
Customers were forced to use shuttle buses for most of the day, but the train was later rerailed and regular service resumed Saturday evening, the MBTA said on X at about 5:14 p.m.
At approximately 8:55 a.m., a westbound Green Line B branch trolley derailed west of the platform at Kenmore station, said MBTA General Manager Phillip Eng in a statement.
No injuries were reported among the approximately 25 passengers who were on board at the time of the derailment, according to Eng.

Shuttles were provided between Babcock Street and Copley, the statement said. Riders on C and D branches can get westbound shuttle buses at Copley; in bound service on those branches will stop at Kenmore and shuttle buses will be available.
“Prior to reopening the Green Line B-branch after the latest construction work, we conducted rigorous testing, including running multiple test trains,” said Eng. “Service resumed at 5 a.m. this morning and more than 70 Green Line trolleys had already safely traveled through Kenmore Station prior to this incident.”
Personnel are working on rerailing and removing the trolley, according to the statement.
“Safety remains our top priority. This incident underscores the importance of our ongoing efforts to enhance the reliability and resilience of the MBTA system following decades of underinvestment,” the statement said.
