The blue line outage happened on Monday. A train dislodged 2,000 feet of catenary and stopped on the grade approaching Slauson station. They had said that they might not be able to remove the train until Wednesday, but I drove by last night and it was already removed.
This is the second power outage in a week for the gold line. They had another one over the weekend that caused major damage to a substation after a power surge.

They had another one over the weekend that caused major damage to a substation after a power surge. Monday's Blue Line outage is now fixed, as of Thursday morning. They apparently worked on it overnight. It took this long (three days) because of the weather...wet conditions and danger of lightning. As of yesterday evening the Gold Line was still operating at reduced speeds between Southwest Museum and Mission. The original announcement about the substation damage on Sunday night said that stretch of the Gold Line would be running slowly "until further notice". So my guess is that this TPSS is still out-of-service.

There was a power outage on the red line today between 7th/metro and wilshire/vermont that caused delays for me and others. The station announcements said to take a bus, but they evidently restored power 15 minutes later. I would have been much better off to wait. I figured as much, but you never know.
