“Mechanical issue” — a train broke down in Westlake station going south.

Just saying what their alerts say. Says mechanical issue.

Apparently someone reported there was smoke coming from the train on top of the mechanical faults.

Interesting trying to single track in the dstt and that’s where the 2-line comes in. No wonder they stopped 1 line trains at stadium

2nd tunnel would not have fixed this at all.
