SF Muni Shut Tuesday After Overhead Lines Fell on the Train

SAN FRANCISCO, CA- Service on San Francisco Municipal Railway's inbound N line was shutdown for nearly four hours this morning, after overhead lines on a train came down, creating a major delay during the morning commute.

Around 7:15 a.m., the overhead lines on an inbound train came down on Duboce Avenue at Noe Street, according to Muni spokesman Paul Rose. Shuttle buses were sent to pick up passengers heading towards downtown. Additionally, riders were asked to seek alternate bus lines.

Crews responded to the scene and were able to make repairs, before running test trains, according to Rose. By 10:55 a.m., service had returned back to normal, Rose said.
