Flooding along the Neponset River inundated Milton station on the Mattapan High-Speed Trolley Line on Tuesday morning, prompting a rescue operation by the Milton Fire Department after a trolley with six passengers and an operator on board got stuck in the rising waters. The firefighters used a yellow raft to ferry people from the Ashmont-bound, orange PCC car to safety around 8:30 a.m.

Shuttle buses replaced trolley service for several hours, but was restored around 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday according to a statement from T officials.

Video captured by MBTA cameras show the river water creeping into the right-of-way near Milton station around 7:30 a.m. Within minutes, the tracks in and around the station were submerged in several feet of water.

“There’s a dam just upriver and ice formations on that dam has caused the water to back up and spill the banks just upstream of the dam,” said Milton Fire Chief Chris Madden.

Madden says the trolley was trapped in water and some areas are up to four feet.

T officials say the trolley experienced a "power issue," which caused it to be stuck.

A T spokesman said the disabled trolley was "coupled with another trolley and pulled into the Mattapan yard, where it will undergo a through inspection."

No injuries were reported.
