The MBTA announced the cancellation of Foxboro lines "until further notice" just before 2 p.m. The diversion, they said, "will allow for necessary track work following the vehicle striking a bridge near Endicott."

Commuters headed to or from Foxboro by train can use the Franklin line, the MBTA said, with a shuttle bus connection to Foxboro "through the evening" from Walpole.
