BART Officials Investigating Rail Problem That Caused Massive Commuter Delays May 6

The company that inspected a section of rail between the 16th Street and Civic Station BART stations in San Francisco that broke last week and caused a major service disruption noticed an anomaly in that area last September, a BART executive said Thursday. Paul Oversier, the transit agency's assistant general manager of operations, told BART directors that inspectors from Sperry Rail Service of Danbury, Conn., had thought that the anomaly resulted from "slag," or excess material, where BART had done some welding between the two San Francisco stations.
