This is due to a power loss at a substation that began at approximately 5pm on Saturday, July 27th. The suspected cause is a blown breaker, which caused a major electrical short that essentially short circuited the trackway in that area.
At approximately 5:20pm on Saturday, July 27, we experienced a disruption in service between 12th St/Oakland and Fruitvale stations due to a power issue at an Oakland substation.
As a result, four stations were closed. They are Fruitvale, Lake Merritt, 12th St/Oakland and 19th St/Oakland. Trains are turning back at Coliseum, West Oakland, and MacArthur stations.
