BART announced about 6:40 a.m. that it shut down it’s red-line service between the stations in the two cities for all of Friday because of a defect in a section of the railroad tracks. The agency did not say whether the issue was related to the Bay Area’s heat wave.
The repair work to the track would be done overnight, according to the agency. All of the stations on the red line remained open despite the direct service closure.
BART urged passengers in Richmond to board a Berryessa station-bound train on the orange line and transfer at the MacArthur Station to a yellow line running between Antioch and Millbrae. Passengers in Millbrae had to catch a shuttle to the San Francisco Airport station, and then board a yellow line train to Antioch. Once at the MacArthur Station, those passengers can transfer to an orange line-train heading to Richmond.
The red line also was dropped from service on June 26 after a track maintenance vehicle derailed overnight, blocking a set of tracks near the 19th Street Oakland station.
