The @SFBARTalert Twitter account posted about the delay at 2:42 p.m.

The transit system is currently single-tracking trains through the Transbay Tube until the obstruction can be removed crews and the track inspected to ensure it is safe to reopen.

The 511.org website has a special section to provide advice on other public transit options during the disruption.

About a half an hour later, the SFBARTalert Twitter account posted that the system was recovering from the earlier problem, but noted there was still a 20-minute delay in the Transbay Tube.
