Reply to comment by senatorium in MBTA to close part of Orange Line to work on slow zones it said were eliminated, but weren’t, during full shutdown by ik1nky

What the heck does "bad frog" "frog defect" mean? I assume it's a train term or an acronym for something but that's pretty funny out of context lol

A "frog" is part of a track switch. There are a lot of them around Assembly to Wellington.

It's a train term that comes from an earlier horse term, so it's really old slang. It's the V shaped part of a track switch.
