T Third Line Resumes After Train Stall
San Francisco's T Third line returned to normal service after a stalled train briefly disrupted southbound trips Thursday. The incident occurred at Third and Marin streets, where a disabled train blocked the route before transit crews cleared the obstruction. Officials said service resumed within hours of the initial disruption.
Disruption Details
The stalled train halted southbound T Third service on February 6, 2026, affecting riders traveling through the Bayview and Visitacion Valley neighborhoods. Transit officials said crews responded to the Third and Marin location to address the mechanical issue. The agency didn't specify how many trains were delayed or how long the disruption lasted before normal operations resumed. Officials confirmed the situation through social media updates but didn't provide details about what caused the train to stall.
Service Restoration
Transit crews cleared the stalled train and restored full southbound service on the T Third line, officials said. The route connects downtown San Francisco with Visitacion Valley and Sunnydale, serving approximately 25,000 weekday riders under normal conditions. Officials didn't say whether alternative transportation was provided during the disruption or if northbound service was affected. The agency typically reroutes buses during light rail outages, though whether that happened in this case wasn't specified.
Response Timeline
The transit agency announced service restoration the same day as the incident, February 6, though officials didn't provide specific times for when the train stalled or when crews completed repairs. Transit authorities shared updates through social media channels to inform riders of the situation. The agency didn't say whether the stalled train required towing or if it was repaired on-site.
