In the maximum speed position. The cord was wrapped through there, so it stays on the high speed and walkie talkie itself was stuck there.

We went from braintree to and no one even told us. The reporter ed was telling us that investigators did show up at his work today to take a closer look at that photo and hear more about his version of what happened on that runaway train. Live in quincy, robert goulston, fox 25 news. Mark now, lets take a closer look at the redline route in this area. There are six stations from braintree all the way up to j. F. K. , umass, thats up by morrissey boulevard, the boston globe. The mbta says this run away train departed the station 6 08 a. M. It was still dark outside. The train started picking up speed after it passed Quincy Center station and said, there were no emergency messages as they proceeded here. The train did not stop until the t cut the power line to the third rail. Now that was nine minutes later. The six cars that made up the train came to a halt, just after north quincy. Actually, passengers got off at j. F. K. Umass. In tote al, thats just over five miles from braintree. Vanessa it was a frightening five miles for everyone on board. Fox 25s crystal haynes is live in boston, where the mbta gave all of this happened. Crystal . The reporter well, vanessa, we know that secretary pollack is saying that the primary focus of this investigation is operator error, but we know it was a scary morning commute, for some 50 passengers that were on the so called ghost train for at least four stops before it actually came to a halt. A nightmare commute for 50 passengers on the redline from braintree. It started around 6 00 a. M. , when the operator couldnt get the train to start, and asked to bypass mode. The operator exited the train to undertake that procedure, and while the operator was not on board the train, the train left the station. Sources tell me 28 year mbta veteran David Vasquez was the operator of this train and because it was in bypass mode, both sets of brakes on the train engaged and the trains prevention collision system was disengaged. Nine minutes after the initial call that the train itself whats operating without a motor person, the train came to a stop, outside of north quincy station. Passengers were taken to the j. F. K. Umass stop where they got off the train. Secretary pollack called the incidents unacceptable, saying the primary focus of the investigation is operator error and stays there is a two layer system so that this kind thing doesnt happen. The first layer of protection are the procedures and the requirements that are supposed to be followed. And the second layer of protection is ensuring that our personnel actually follow those procedures. I also asked pollack about passenger report that a cord was wrapped around what they believed was the accelerator of the train. Fox 25 with this exclusive photo from a passenger.

Could be thick in spots, but should be fairly patchy. I dont think it will be widespread enough to really interfere with your friday morning commute, but do keep that in mind. Could come up on a dense spot or two out there until 8 00 a. M. Or 9 00 a. M. Friday morning. Rain and wind monday night hand unusually warm weather, but for now, sitting at 48 in boston. Portsmouth. 39 in keene. But 51 right now in hyannis, and again, 43 would be the normal High Temperature for the middle of the afternoon. Were above that in many areas. Here we are, two hours after sunset. But this is what were watching through the night. Where would he do we do have a wind its from the south and that southerly wind is what brings the mild weather and thats what were expecting a south to southwesterly wind through the weekend and into the early part of next week. In many areas, we dont wind at all. Its dead calm and thats whats there and lakely will. Likely will. Orange and keene, its been thick now for over an hour, visibility there only a quarter of a mile. So again if youre out driving to about 8 00 a. M. Or 9 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning, do look out for that, otherwise, have a frontal boundary on the other side of the great lakes here, but you can tell some mainly high thin clouds streaming in out ahead of that. So well see those from time to time tonight and through much of the day tomorrow. So tomorrow well call it a mixture of clouds and sun. A weak system here developing off the carolina coastline. It will move up the coast overnight tonight. Futurecast keeps most of the rain out to sea, but cant rule out maybe a sprinkle late tonight or early tomorrow morning out at the cape and islands, otherwise, again, partly cloudy skies. Decent amount of sunshine tomorrow afternoon, kind of like today. We start off cloudy, a little more sunshine in the afternoon, but still, never a completely sunny day tomorrow. Front stays just to our north and through most of the weekend, we stay on the mild side of the front until we get to sunday. On sunday, that front will be and its about a 10degree difference between the temperatures on one side of the front and the temperatures on the other side of the front and the front is going to kind of split the area in half. It might be one of the days on sunday where theres a big difference between the temperatures in the north shore, and the temperatures in the south shore. So the forecast for sunday is kind of tricky, because i think some of us will be in the 50s. Might still be 60s though on the other side of the front on sunday. Now that retreats back to the north on monday hand that means mild weather returns for all of new england on monday and then our next rainmaker gets her monday night into tuesday. In the meantime, enjoy this. 45, thats our low temperature tonight. Above average for this time of year. That would be above average for a daytime temperature for tonight. Nantucket, 50s. Vineyard, down to 50 degrees. Keene, a little cooler, so there could be some of the usual cooler spots might dip into the upper 30s, but still very mild and speaking of very mild, upper 50s to low 60s tomorrow afternoon. So in other words, tomorrow afternoon, just as warm as today. The rest of the weekend, theres your weekend always in view. About the same on saturday. Little bit on where you live. Low 60s on monday. Best chance of rain in that sevenday forecast comes month night into tuesday and that will likely be accompanied by some gusty winds.
