The T: the past month or so

Incidents of either dead trains or track problems extracted from http://www.universalhub.com/mbta ...where it is impressive that the editor can still come up with dead train rhymes.

(Manually extracted. Didn't count "station closed due to flooding" incidents, of which there were multiple. And yes, on December 28, according to UHub, Red Line trains separately died at Alewife, Kendall, Porter, and Davis.)

And that ignores the severe delays (the T's words, and they never say that even when it's true) on the Red Line on Thursday the 11th. Just f'r example.

...yesterday Harvard station closed due to "Cambridge Fire Department activity", causing trains to back up to South Station and beyond, and once things started sluggishly rolling forward, the interlocking at Park Street failed (again), so after going one stop in 20 minutes, I scrambled to get on the Orange Line, and made the 5:55 Fitchburg train to Porter (which also had an equipment failure, but the train on the opposite platform was functional). But, nothing about this showed up on Universal Hub.

In short: this is probably an undercount, horrific as it looks already.
