@Richie C. posted:Never heard of it either, but this is the statement they released ......
"MBTA general manager Steve Poftak told the media at a press conference yesterday afternoon that riders will get a "faster, safer, more reliable Orange Line - There will be one additional delay: A few "slow zones" will remain in place until the new track and ballast settles into place."
Well, THAT'S more like it, i.e "...until the new track and ballast settles into place.". Although the big mainline railroads in the U.S. and Canada don't do that, as everything is properly tamped & laser-leveled.
