As it was seen on a Facebook post by Metro Los Angeles (LA Metro), a piece of rigid catenary wiring fell off the ceiling along with some of the supports broken off. This resulted in rail service disruption with the A (Blue) and E (Expo/Gold) lines between 7th Street/Metro Center and Pico stations. This also might have resulted the power outage inside 7th/MC station's light rail platforms. Hopefully LA Metro fixes the catenary wiring soon. I want more new cab ride videos of the new Regional Connector tunnel, especially from a Siemens P2000 train on the A Line from Long Beach to Azusa.

I'm surprised the train's interior lighting didn't black out and go dark.

pretty sure the overhead wires are on a separate power source.

@@unstableatoms3456 More than likely the overhead catenary wires are on a separate power source 750 volts DC current. Otherwise the train's interior lighting would have blacked out and the trains wouldn't be able to run at all. Just a handful of emergency battery lighting would have been lit.

@losangelesrailway3505 if the trains where run by diesel fuel,none of thus would happen. We need trains that run on its own power without penographs.

Of course the subway stations look very different when the lights are off. It seems rare to come across a subway train station going through a power outage in person

Does this power outage affect the overhead wires for the trains?
@erickramos041411 ай бұрын
Yes it does. The train in order to work it needs power from the over head power lines

@peterbrassard38418 Жыл бұрын
It was because a piece of rigid catenary wiring (it powers the trains) fell off the ceiling on that track, so trains had to share tracks from 7th Street/Metro Center station to Pico until it was fixed.

@SuperheroJunior It is better to have electrict trains. The issue is maintance and maybe if they used thrid rail as opposed to catenary, it would be better.
