The service between Antioch and Pittsburg/Bay Point stations stopped around 4:45 a.m., according to a statement from the BART.

BART spokesperson Jim Allison said that an out-of-service train experienced a “minor derailment” that did not cause any injuries or any fuel spill. The rest of the BART system was working normally.

The Tri-Delta transit system was providing bus service between the stations. A parallel bus service on Tri Delta Bus 390 between the Antioch, Pittsburg Center and Pittsburg/Bay Point stations also was available, Allison said.

There was no information available on how long the train service would be down.
