BART Track 'Deformity' Being Blamed For Latest Delays In And Out Of SF

BART crews are inspecting a “reported deformity” on a San Francisco trackway and are running only one train line past the Montgomery station this morning, a BART spokeswoman said.

The problem was discovered shortly after 9:30 a.m. on the westbound trackway between the Civic Center and 16th Street Mission BART stations, BART officials said. BART trains are single-tracking through all downtown San Francisco stations and trains traveling from the East Bay to the city are limited, according to BART.

Only San Francisco International Airport-bound trains are running past Montgomery station in San Francisco, BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said.

Trains that normally run from Fremont to Daly City are stopping at the MacArthur station in Oakland, trains from Dublin to Daly City are turning around at Montgomery, and no trains are running directly from Richmond to San Francisco, Trost said.

Passengers on any of those trains will have to off-board at those stations and continue on an airport-bound train, according to Trost.

San Francisco Municipal Railway and Alameda-Contra Costa Transit are honoring BART tickets today. BART riders are being encouraged to seek alternate methods of transportation.
