An ongoing landslide problem in Niles Canyon, near Fremont, stalled an Altamont Corridor Express train once again Wednesday morning, prompting the agency to cancel service through the area for the day, ACE told NBC Bay Area.
It was the second consecutive day commuters were stranded or turned back on the route from the East Bay into the valley.
An ACE train bound for Fremont stopped Wednesday morning in the same area where a landslide struck a train and stalled it Tuesday, the agency said, citing "debris on the tracks."
ACE train no. 1 was stopped in Niles Canyon, and ACE train no. 3 was staged at the Pleasanton station. Subsequent trains, nos. 5 and 7, initially were held at their origin and later were canceled, as was all evening service through the area, the agency said.
