The MBTA announced that the speed limit for the Braintree branch of the Red Line will increase from 40 mph to 50 mph, following the completion of the Track Improvement Program. These changes are expected to be implemented shortly after final inspections. The initiative marks significant advancements in MBTA's service quality under General Manager Phil Eng, with plans also in motion to enhance speed on the Orange Line. Improvements aim for a safer, faster, and more reliable transportation experience for commuters in the Boston area.
Transportation Secretary and CEO Monica Tibbits-Nutt praised Eng's contributions, stating, “We have made significant progress ... the customer experience is dramatically better.
The recent speed restorations on the Red Line's Braintree branch are a result of tireless work from the MBTA's Maintenance of Way team.
