BART's Green Line remained out of service Thursday, two days after a fire at the San Leandro station shut down a large portion of the system.
The transit agency projects Green Line service to resume on Tuesday as crews continue to make repairs to the damaged trackside train control equipment from the blaze.

WATCH HERE"There is an investigation into the root cause of the fire. We know there was an electrical fault on our DC power system, from our 1000 volt DC cable that was part of BART's original system (50+ years old) and a fire started. The fire then damaged trackside train control equipment and sections of fiber and our 34.5kV cable," BART said in a social media post. "While faults are not uncommon in the BART system, it is very rare that this fault escalated to this level. Typically electrical faults are isolated by protections such as transfer trips and circuit breakers."
In a service advisory on Thursday, BART said, "there is currently no Green line service between Berryessa and Daly City. Passengers traveling from San Francisco can board a Dublin/Pleasanton train (Blue line) and transfer at Bayfair to a Berryessa train (Orange line). Those traveling from Berryessa can board a Richmond train (Orange line) and transfer at Bayfair to a Daly City train (Blue line)."
BART in the morning also posted a 10-minute delay between Bayfair and San Leandro in the Dublin/Pleasanton, Berryessa, Richmond and Daly City directions because of an equipment problem on the track, which could be linked to the same issue caused by Tuesday's fire.
The fire, reported just after 5 a.m. Tuesday, shut down the San Leandro station and prompted a systemwide delay. The fire damaged cables and other train control equipment in the area, BART officials said.
