BART trains were delayed by several minutes following a 5.1-magnitude earthquake that hit the Gulf region Tuesday morning, officials said.

BART posted at 12:21pm on Twitter: “All track inspections are now complete. No damage found and all services clear for normal operations. Delay is being recovered. Trains are currently 3-18 minutes late.”

The USGS said the quake, which occurred at 11:42 a.m. south of Mount Hamilton in the hills east of San Jose, was felt along the way in Fairfield, Stockton and Salinas. Fortunately, the transit agency said, no damage was found to BART’s trains or track after inspections were carried out.

We currently have 57 trains in service. In the aftermath of the earthquake, all trains except for those on Transbay Tube hold out for 5 minutes. This is to ensure that it is not followed by a larger earthquake. Once the trains are launched, operators perform a visual check of the tracks at low speed.
