An MBTA train ended up in an unusual spot Tuesday night: Interstate 495 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
State police say a tractor-trailer was hauling an Orange Line car when its trailer dislodged, leaving the train on the northbound side of the highway before Route 3.
No one was injured in the incident, police said.
Lane closures are expected to be in place until a heavy-duty tow truck could move the train and the trailer from the highway, according to police.
“A trucking company, hired by CRRC MA to ship new subway cars from Springfield to the MBTA, experienced a problem tonight while delivering a single Orange Line car,” MBTA spokesperson Joe Pesaturo said in a statement. “On a separate truck tonight, another new Orange Line car was successfully delivered to the MBTA’s Wellington facility.”
Pesaturo added that there were no reports of damage to the train car.
