Findings suggest the cause of the Green Line derailment that injured 10 people Saturday is operator-related, MBTA officials announced. The operator of the train has been suspended. During the MBTA Fiscal and Management Control Board meeting Monday, Jeff Gonneville, MBTA deputy general manager, shared the preliminary findings of the investigation. “We have ruled out both the vehicle and the infrastructure as a cause of this incident,” he said. “At this point in time it does appear to be operator-related.”An outbound D branch train derailed at around 11 a.m. Saturday between the Kenmore and Fenway stations. The train was about 300-400 yards inside a tunnel.The track in the area where the train derailed was replaced two years ago, according to Gonneville. Approximately 150 people were on the train when it derailed, and they had to be evacuated through the tunnel. Another 500 people who were on trains behind the derailed train also had to be evacuated through the tunnel, according to MBTA General Manager Steve Poftak.Some of the injured passengers had to be carried out of the tunnel.In the meeting, Poftak said the MBTA will continue to investigate the derailment. “Obviously we regret the impact on our riders and the disruption to service on what was a busy day here in the city,” he said. “Safety remains our first priority here at the MBTA, and I can assure the board that we will thoroughly investigate this matter and take all reasonable steps to address any findings.”The derailment occurred on a busy day in Boston, with a Red Sox doubleheader and the city's 2019 Pride Parade happening Saturday afternoon. For the rest of the day, service on Green Line branches was suspended through Kenmore and replaced with shuttle buses.Regular service resumed Sunday morning.Gonneville said the MBTA will continue to coordinate an investigation with the Transit Police, regulatory agencies, Federal Transit Administration and Department of Public Utilities.
