MBTA commuter rail delayed after Amazon driver takes wrong turn onto train tracks

A pair of MBTA Commuter Rail trains shuttling passengers from the South Shore to Boston early Thursday morning were delayed after an Amazon delivery driver took a wrong turn and wound up on the train tracks.

Cohasset Police reported the mishap around 6:30 a.m. Thursday. The driver wound up on the train tracks at North Main Street near the Hingham line, police wrote on Facebook , warning that trains would be delayed until the tracks could be cleared.

In a photo posted to social media, a white Nissan Altima can be seen straddling the train tracks. The car was eventually towed away, allowing trains to resume their routes around 7:30 a.m.

The mishap affected two trains Thursday morning — the 6:10 a.m. departing Greenbush station in Scituate and the 6:55 a.m. departing from that station. Both trains were headed to South Station in Boston.

The 6:10 a.m. train was operating about an hour behind schedule as of 7:30 a.m., while the 6:55 a.m. train was operating 20 to 30 minutes behind schedule , according to the MBTA .
