Large Stockton power outage was caused by train derailment, PG&E says

A train derailment caused a large power outage in Stockton on Monday morning, authorities say.

The power outage was first reported around 8 a.m., according to PG&E, and was affecting more than 17,000 customers at one point.

PG&E officials say the outage is related to a train derailment in the Stockton area. Union Pacific says the derailment happened at their Stockton Rail Yard and a power line was knocked over. No injuries were reported, Union Pacific says.

No hazardous material was involved in the derailment, Union Pacific says.

Due to the power outage, San Joaquin Superior Court says the Stockton courthouse has closed for the day and all matters will be moved to a future date. 

PG&E said power had been restored to all but about 11 customers as of 3:30 p.m., with most of those remaining customers seeing restoration by 5:30 p.m., and the remaining customers once repairs are completed.
