Baby bunnies rescued from Blue Line tracks

MBTA workers pulled the baby bunnies from harm’s way on Tuesday.

MBTA workers rescued a family of baby bunnies that was found in a nest near Blue Line tracks.

The T employees discovered a rabbit nest near a Blue Line rail yard on Tuesday and pulled about eight baby bunnies to safety, according to a WBUR report.

The bunnies were relocated to a safer area away from the stretch of T tracks. The agency shared a photo of one of the bunnies nestled in the hands of a T worker.

“Every life is precious, and we’re glad they were able to act quickly,” the T told WBUR.

The rabbit rescue comes a week after T workers relocated a turtle found on the Green Line D branch tracks at Chestnut Hill. 

In March, T workers helped a baby duck that was seen on the Green Line tracks between North Station and Science Park. The turtle and duck rescues both caused minor delays of between 10 and 15 minutes, the T said.
