Seven more Orange, Red Line trains pulled due to improper installation
MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak said an inspection of its new Orange and Red Line fleet has revealed bolts were improperly installed in the brakes of seven additional train cars.
The braking issue had caused a new Orange Line train to become disabled on May 19, which prompted the MBTA to take all of its new Orange cars and one new Red car out of service.
In announcing a return to service for the new Orange Line trains on Monday, the MBTA said the issue had not been found in any other braking units at that point.
On Thursday, Poftak told the MBTA Board of Directors that further
inspection revealed the same problem had occurred in seven other new
trains — six Orange and one Red. https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/05/26/seven-more-orange-red-line-trains-pulled-due-to-improper-installation/
