Fire Near BART Tracks Briefly Halts Train Service In Richmond
RICHMOND (CBS SF) -- BART service has resumed between the Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte stations Tuesday afternoon after a fire near the trackway briefly stopped trains from traveling through the area, according to the transit agency.
BART initially issued an alert shortly before noon about the service disruption.
During the brief stoppage, parallel bus service was available on AC Transit buses 72M and 76 for passengers traveling between Richmond and El Cerrito del Norte.
About 15 minutes later that service had been restored with residual delays of about 10 minutes.
