LOS ANGELES — A Metro train derailed Tuesday in the underground Seventh Street/Metro Center Station, causing major light rail service disruptions in downtown Los Angeles but resulting in no reports of major injuries.
It was unclear what caused the problem, which occurred shortly after 3 p.m. Tuesday at the station near Seventh and Flower streets. It was also unknown how many people were on the northbound A Line train at the time, but Metro officials said all passengers were safely evacuated.
Video from the station showed the affected train still upright. The Metro A and E lines (formerly the Blue and Expo lines) use the affected tracks at the station.
Due to the incident, E Line trains heading toward downtown from Santa Monica were turned back at the Pico Station, while E Line trains originating in East Los Angeles were turning back at the Broadway Station.
On the A Line, trains heading downtown from Long Beach were also being turned back at the Pico Station, while trains from Azusa were turning back at Union Station. Buses were being brought in to shuttle passengers between the closed stations.
Metro riders were advised to expect “significant” delays in service through the area, and indeed the disruption lasted for much of the day.
Metro reported at 9:27 p.m. that workers had removed the incident train from the station and were inspecting the switch for damage. The agency then reported at around 9:45 p.m. that normal train service had resumed to all stations in downtown Los Angeles and bus shuttles were canceled.
A and E LINES: normal train service has resumed to all stations in downtown Los Angeles.
Bus shuttles canceled.
