North Berkeley BART Station Closed for Almost an Hour

A blown power transformer was the cause.

The North Berkeley BART station was closed for nearly an hour Sunday evening after a power transformer at the station failed, a BART police spokesman said. BART repair crews replaced the transformer and the station reopened at 7:11 pm. The spokesman said the transformer failure followed a PG&E power outage in the area, but it’s not known if the events are connected.
