Not long after light rail successfully moved record crowds for the World Cup, old demons returned to haunt Sound Transit on Thursday, when a broken power wire blocked train travel through North Seattle.
The service outage began during the morning commute and went on for 15 hours. After the wire was repaired, a test train went through the work zone around 8:15 p.m., said spokesperson David Jackson. The agency issued an alert just before 10 p.m., telling riders regular service was resuming.
