鈥淭he problem that we continue to troubleshoot is that there appears to be an electrical supply issue preventing the fan system from ramping up to the speed required to do its job. Without this system functioning properly, we cannot safely operate trains in the tunnel,鈥澛燬ound Transit CEO Julie Timm said in the company鈥檚 blog, .

The disruption was expected to continue into Wednesday, but the problem was resolved overnight at around 1 a.m., and all trains are now running, as usual, Wednesday morning.

鈥淲e deeply regret that passengers traveling to or through downtown Seattle on Link light rail faced significant delays and inconveniences from this emergency shutdown,鈥 Timm said.
