The incident began at approximately 2:30 p.m. this afternoon. Trains are currently operating from Waterfront Station to Oakridge Station as well as YVR Airport Station and Richmond-Brighouse Station to Marine Drive Station. A single shuttle train is running between Marine Drive Station and Oakridge-41st Avenue Station.
