Caltrain Delays May Be Up to Hour After Friday Afternoon Fatality

Caltrain is running trains on a single track through Atherton this afternoon, and passengers should expect delays of up to 60 minutes, Caltrain officials said.

The delays come after a train struck a man near the Atherton station today at 2:56 p.m., according to Caltrain officials. The death marks Caltrain’s 12th fatality of the year. A preliminary investigation indicated the death was an intentional act, Caltrain officials said.

There were approximately 400 people on board the train at the time of the accident, Caltrain officials said.

A SamTrans bus bridge has been deployed to accommodate passengers between the Menlo Park and Redwood City stations.
