Sarah time now for fast track traffic with danielle gersh. Danielle thanks, sarah. Good morning, everyone. Lets head outside. Heres a look heading into boston. 93 southbound, route 1 southbound looking good. No issues to tell you about at 5 00 a. M. This morning.

Passengers certainly panicked. Frantic moments on the orange line as smoke fills a station. Passengers kicked out a window and pried open doors to get out of the train. Screaming and scrambling. People were trying to open the doors. I told you there was something on the track. They want to keep going. Reporter they watched it all from the platform at the state street station last night. The m. B. T. A. Says a 12footlong panel unique to the orange line fell off of a train on to the electrified third rail. That train ran over the panel. Smoke was copping off of the track.

There was a guy on the phone trying to be dispatched. Platform. The train was coming in slow. It was smoking. There was another big boom. Then another big boom.

Not only do we have the rain but gusty winds at time gusting over 50 Miles
Around trying to get into work. Slick sidewalks. Downtown boston at 27 degrees, but look at the difference. Down 93 to randolph, its 46 degrees. 29 in dedham. 31 in waltham. So its essentiallies be north and west, subfreezing temperatures giving us those icy conditions, and a lot of the secondary roads, the driveways and sidewalks very slick. Southeastern mass, different world here. 50 degrees in West Bridgewater, 50 in dighton, 48 west wareham. That milder air working up from southeast to northwest as we go through the morning. So icy inland over next few hours. Of us will be mild this afternoon. Wind and rain the story midafternoon into midevening.
