The Green Line has reopened this afternoon after a portion of the subway was shut down for several hours because of a wire problem at North Station, according to the MBTA’s website.
At 10:44 a.m., smoke was reported on the Green Line's westbound platform at North Station, said spokesman Joe Pesaturo in an e-mail. A section of the overhead wire that powers the trolleys had come down as one of the trains was entering the station. No one was injured, Pesaturo said.
T riders were being bused between the stations at Government Center and Lechmere.
