Orange Line reopens after month-long shutdown

BOSTON (WLNE) — The Orange Line has reopened Monday morning following a month-long shutdown.

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority shutdown the subway line for years’ worth of maintenance work.

A series of dangerous problems in the past years prompted the Federal Transit Administration to launch a review of the system, including a train that caught fire in July.

“After a successful 30-day closure, we’re pleased to welcome riders back to the Orange Line,” the MBTA tweeted Monday.

At 5:16 a.m. the first trains departed Oak Grove and Forest Hills, officially resuming the service.
