No one was hurt during the derailment, but it's the latest in a series of issues the MBTA has seen in recent years.

An out-of-service MBTA Red Line train derailed when it hit a metal grate at a train yard in Boston Thursday night, officials said.

An agency spokesperson said it happened at Cabot yard on Dorchester Avenue around 8:45 p.m. The train was moving out of the carhouse at the yard when it struck the grate. The train was upright the entire time and one was hurt. The derailment damaged the third rail and a switch at the yard, which have both been repaired. The train was placed back on the tracks by around 11:30 p.m.

The Federal Transportation Administration, which has already ordered immediate change at the agency to address safety issues, was informed of Thursday's derailment. An investigation is underway.
