ATLANTA — An Atlanta commuter train stuck on the tracks has disrupted service to and from the world’s busiest airport.
The Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority tweeted around 9 p.m. Tuesday that the situation left regular trains unable to reach the station at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
Rail Operations Chief Dave Springstead says normal service to the airport may not resume until Thursday because officials need to bring in a crane to lift the train.
MARTA spokeswoman Stephany Fisher tells The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the crane isn’t scheduled to arrive until Thursday morning.
Shuttle buses were being used to take passengers from a nearby station to the airport.
The disruption comes less than three weeks before Atlanta hosts the 2019 Super Bowl.
