BART train service was stopped for nearly an hour and a half between the Dublin-Pleasanton and West Dublin-Pleasanton stations on Wednesday morning due to a fatality on the trackway, the agency said.
A medical emergency at an unspecified location on the tracks was reported publicly just before 6:56 a.m. Wednesday, with BART saying there was no service between the two Tri-Valley stations but trains were leaving from West Dublin-Pleasanton toward San Francisco on a limited basis during the response and investigation.
BART confirmed at 7:16 a.m. that the incident involved a fatality on the tracks.
The agency reported at 8:28 a.m. that the Dublin-Pleasanton station reopened and normal service restored, with the goal of getting all trains back on schedule.
Additional information about the fatality was not revealed as of 10 a.m. Wednesday.
