MBTA Red Line trains back to 50 mph on key stretch
Original: MBTA Red Line trains can now travel up to 50 mph between North Quincy and JFK/UMass
MBTA Red Line trains can now run at speeds of up to 50 mph between North Quincy and JFK/UMass stations in Boston. The restoration of normal operating speed on this stretch follows track work and speed restrictions that had slowed commutes. Riders have been closely watching the MBTA's pace of repairs as the agency works through a backlog of safety and maintenance issues affecting the region's transit system.
Why now: Restored train speeds mean shorter commutes for riders after a period of slow zones on the line.
