BART Recovering After Disabled Train in East Bay Causes Major Delays on Antioch Line

PLEASANT HILL (CBS SF) -- A disabled BART train stuck between the Pleasant Hill and Concord stations is causing  major delays for the transit system's Antioch line Friday afternoon, according to officials.

The BART Alert Twitter account initially posted about an equipment problem on the tracks between the two East Bay Stations at around 12:15 p.m. Friday.

Within 15 minutes, BART was reporting that a disabled train between those stations was causing a major delay on the Antioch line in both directions.

Shortly before 1 p.m., BART officials said that the system was recovering from the problems caused by the disabled train, but that there were still delays on the Antioch line.

The problems are impacting any baseball fans who got a late start heading to San Francisco from the East Bay for the Giants home opener Friday afternoon.
