PRT: Power shut down to majority of the T, only one train running

PITTSBURGH — The majority of the T is not running this morning after an overhead powerline came down overnight, Pittsburgh Regional Transit said.

The downed power line required crews to shut down power to most of the rail system. PRT said this means no trains can leave the rail yard.

One railcar will be available that will run via the Red Line from Mt. Lebanon to Allegheny Station.

There are six shuttle buses currently available:

  • Two operating from Library to South Hills Junction
  • Two operating from Washington Junction to South Hills Junction
  • Two operating from South Hills Village to South Hills Junction

PRT said they suggest not using the rail system unless you have to, until repairs are made due to the cold temperatures.
