In December, the MBTA pulled several of its new Orange Line cars from service due to electrical issues, but those issues were repaired and the train cars were returned to service last week, according to The Boston Globe.
At the time of the initial problem, the transit agency said a routine inspection of an Orange Line vehicle uncovered a failure in a power cable that may have crated some electrical arcing with a nearby train axle. All other Orange Line vehicles were subsequently inspected, and the MBTA said it identified nine cars where some"electrical arcing" appeared to have occurred, and removed all of the impacted cars for repairs, including replacement of the axles.
The MBTA is still looking into the root cause of the problem on the new vehicles, but said that they are safe, the Globe reported.
