Needless to say, riders weren't happy about it.
"I don't understand why this has taken so long to fix the safety issues and the track issues. It's gone on for the last four years!" said one Red Line commuter.
Service resumed Saturday afternoon. MBTA workers are investigating the cause of this derailment.
