Massachusetts Bay Commuter Railroad, which runs commuter rail for the MBTA, issued two dire warnings yesterday for riders of the Rockport and Worcester commuter lines.

For the Newburyport-Rockport-Beverly line out of North Station, construction work by MassHighway will create delays on the line through March 28th.

The Massachusetts Highway Department is removing a bridge abutment and retaining wall between Beverly and Salem, causing 12 to 15 minute delays between those two stations.

Know your train number. The following can expect delays:

Inbound trains: 1104/2104, 1156/2156, 1108/2108, 1160/2160, 112/2112, 1164/2164, 1116/2116, 1168/2168

Outbound trains: 1105/2105, 1109/2109, 1113/2113

For the Worcester-Framingham line, CSX work is expected to delay trains up to 30 minutes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., including inbound trains P518, P520, P522, P524, P526 and outbound trains P509, P511, P513, P515 and P517.
