Rain-Soaked Equipment Causes BART Delays In East Bay Saturday Morning
OAKLAND (CBS SF) -- Rainy weather in the Bay Area led to mechanical problems for BART trains Saturday morning resulting in major delays between the Coliseum/Oakland Airport station and the Bay Fair station, according to BART officials.
BART initially announced a 20-minute delay to their trains on the Dublin/Pleasanton, Fremont, Richmond and Daly City directions around 6:55 a.m.
At about 7 a.m., BART officials announced that trains on those lines were experiencing delays of up to 30-minutes.
As of about 9 a.m., only trains traveling in the Fremont and Dublin/Pleasanton directions were experiencing delays between 10 to 15 minutes, according to BART officials.
Water intrusion, as a result of the rain overnight, impacted train control equipment and caused BART crews to respond to the scene to resolve the problem, BART officials said.
