BART trains experienced systemwide delays of 30 minutes Friday
evening following a train fire at the Bay Fair station in San Leandro, a BART
spokeswoman said.
The fire was reported at 4:40 p.m. and was put out at 5:26 p.m.,
BART spokeswoman Luna Salaver said. The Bay Fair station was closed as fire
crews responded, but reopened at about 5:30 p.m.
The Fremont-bound train was unoccupied when it caught fire. It had
previously been evacuated at the Coliseum/Oakland Airport station due to
braking issues, according to Salaver.
BART officials said there is no need to set up a bus bridge
because trains are again running through the station.
There was no report of injuries due to the fire.
