   MBTA limits subway speed to 25 miles per hour systemwide after DPU safety   
   findings on Red Line   
      
       The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority is putting a 25 mile per   
       hour maximum speed restriction in place across its Red, Orange, Blue,   
       and Green Lines starting Thursday night, the agency announced around 10   
       p.m.   
      
       The systemwide speed restriction is the result of of findings following   
       a recent site visit to the Red Line between Ashmont and Savin Hill   
       stations by the Department of Public Utilities, the agency said.   
      
       Earlier Thursday, MBTA chief safety officer Ronald Ester told board   
       members that on March 6, MBTA officials joined DPU officials to review   
       track conditions between Ashmont and Savin Hill stations, and found the   
       need for several corrective actions, some of them immediate, including:   
       "Priority one track conditions, third rail insulators, electrical   
       access boxes on the right of way, headlight operations within the   
       subway or within the tunnel, [personal protective equipment]   
       compliance, and safety briefings," he said.
