Baku: Two eastbound lanes of state Highway 24 in Orinda were closed Monday evening to make way for a crane that will be used to clear a BART train that partially derailed and caught fire on New Year’s morning, ABC news reported.
The eastbound lanes were closed at about 4:30 p.m. between Wilder Road and St. Stephens Drive, according to Caltrans.
BART spokesperson Jim Allison said a crane is being set in place to remove the damaged trains. He says BART is working with Caltrans and the CHP.
It’s unknown when the two eastbound lanes nor the BART tracks will officially reopen, as crews will be working overnight.
“…so that the crane can get into place and the operation would be to lift that car that is derailed, and to re-rail it, and then to eventually move that train, incident train, to a yard where it can be inspected,” Allison said.
As of 7:10 p.m., two BART train cars that derailed in Orinda were successfully put back onto the tracks by a crane, according to an update from BART.
The cars will be reatta
ched to the cars that did not derail, and the train will be towed away from its location on the eastbound tracks just outside the Orinda station.
Repairs to the tracks have been begun and one-way traffic, at a minimum, is anticipated for Tuesday morning, BART said in an update on its website, with full yellow line service depending on the speed of repairs.
Allison initially said the work could take six hours from when the crane arrived and when officials clear the freeway.
Passengers are encouraged to have a backup plan just in case.
BART officials said in the noon update on Monday that a bus bridge is being provided to cover the affected route. Passengers traveling from SFO will need to offboard at Rockridge, and board a bus to the Walnut Creek station.
Passengers traveling from Antioch will need to offboard at Walnut Creek and take a bus to the Rockridge station.
AC Transit is providing free bus service to cover BART station stops between Walnut Creek and Rockridge, officials said.
The bus bridge wil
l make all stops between the two stations in both directions.
All other BART lines are not impacted, the agency said.
Officials said nine passengers were taken for medical evaluation after the train car derailed and caught fire near Orinda.
The transit agency had initially reported that no one was injured after the derailment, which happened shortly after 9 a.m. on the eastbound Yellow Line between the Lafayette and Orinda stations.
“A number of people were transported to medical facilities for evaluation following this incident. Based on those initial reports from first responders there were no major injuries,” BART said in a noon update.
The rail service posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the partial derailment happened after 9 a.m. between the Orinda and Lafayette stations.
Two of the train cars also caught on fire, which was extinguished by the Orinda Fire Department.
The derailment occurred after a computer failure prevented the train from automatically changing routes at an interlocking
.
“The operations center was unable to communicate with the interlocking to move the tracks into the proper position, so they instructed the train operator to stop the train and offboard and manually crank the tracks into position,” Allison said.
The train’s operator switched the train’s route manually, as instructed, before the derailment, according to Allison.
The cause is under investigation by BART and the California Public Utilities Commission.
“And then it smoked on the outside and smoked on the inside of the car. Everywhere you saw, smoke, and then from our view like fire orange popping up, so then we tried to get to the next car,” Burrell said.
“And we open our car door, and the next car door was like angled and we tried to open it. And one guy in front of me, the first two people trying to move it. The person behind me was like just ‘jump, just jump.’ So we just jumped like Mission Impossible, but not in a cool way but in a bad way like scary,” she continued.
People tried to get into other cars
, but the doors were disabled and they felt the BART car tip.
