A mechanical issue outbound ended service in North Wilmington earlier this afternoon. The first train impacted was the Haverhill Train #209 (1:10 outbound) which terminated in North Wilmington due to a mechanical issue and shuttle buses replaced service from North Wilmington.

The disabled train is currently being pushed by another train.

As of 2:35 p.m. Friday, trains are running significantly behind schedule Friday afternoon.
