MURRAY, Utah — A fire forced UTA TRAX trains on the Blue and Red Lines to temporarily stop their routes Saturday evening.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) tweeted just before 6:15 p.m. that the two lines were "unable to proceed north or south from Murray North Station" due to the brush fire and fire personnel responding to it.
By 7 p.m., service had resumed, although "residual delays" were still expected.
UTA also said extra northbound trains were being sent to help transport those traveling to Rice-Eccles Stadium for a Garth Brooks concert Saturday night.
#TRAX Alert 6:14 PM: Due to a brush fire and personnel near the track, Blue and Red Line trains are unable to proceed north or south from Murray North Station. Expect delays in the area, including event trains.
