Caltrain Service Disrupted After Train Hits Big-Rig

The incident occurred at about 2:30 p.m. in San Bruno causing damage to the train's engine.

Caltrain experienced system-wide delays Monday afternoon after a train struck a tractor-trailer on the tracks in San Bruno, a transit agency spokeswoman said.

A southbound train struck the vehicle at a track crossing at Angus Avenue at about 2:30 p.m., Caltrain spokeswoman Christine Dunn said. No injuries were reported, she said. Passengers on the disabled southbound train were transferred onto another train at the San Bruno station.

Emergency crews responded and began to clear the tracks. Trains began to single-track around the collision site causing trains to back up. However, by 6:18 p.m. both tracks reopened, tweeted Caltrain officials.
