No 'Person Under Train' at BART's Embarcadero Station After All

Service resumed Wednesday late afternoon.

After shutting down service at San Francisco’s Embarcadero station because of a report of a person under a train, BART police reopened the station this afternoon after not finding anyone under there, an agency spokeswoman said.

Trains were delayed after police received a report at 2:54 p.m. that a person was under a train on the East Bay-bound tracks.
