CSX track work to create some delays

Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad Company (MBCR), provider of commuter rail service to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, would like customers to be aware that CSX, which owns the railroad right-of-way and is responsible for track maintenance on the Worcester/Framingham Commuter Rail Line, will replace rails beginning on Sunday, March 9th with work expected to conclude at the end of Monday, March 17th. 

At the request of the MBTA and MBCR, CSX has staggered the project schedule to minimize delays for commuter rail customers.

As a result of this project, certain off peak MBTA commuter rail trains (outbound and inbound) will experience delays of up to at least 30 minutes.

Passengers should also be aware that morning rush hour trains may experience up to 10 minute delays due to temporary speed restrictions that will be in place until the work is complete. 

We apologize for any inconvenience you experience because of this project. 

Work will take place as follows:

Phase 1

Train #562, #564, #565, #566, and #567, can expect delays between 20 and 30 minutes.
