Derailed MARTA train slows airport access
1/10
January 16, 2019 Atlanta: MARTA riders at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport were inconvenienced Wednesday, Jan. 16, 2019 due to a disabled train that was stuck on the tracks at the Airport station. The out-of-service train got stuck on the MARTA tracks just north of the airport Tuesday night, and stopped train service in both directions on the red and gold lines. Shuttle buses took passengers from the College Park station to the airport that caused delays. A shuttle train on the northbound track took riders between the stations. It is able to go around the disabled train, MARTA spokeswoman Stephany Fisher told AJC.com early Wednesday. Normal train service was to resume late Wednesday morning. The agency is investigating what caused the issue, Fisher said. The airport said in a tweet that the MARTA issues are having minimal impacts on travelers, and that northbound service out of the airport station was operating normally. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
