Work on a dead zone of RTD’s light-rail system was completed today, and the line went back into service around 2 p.m.
A section of the rail power line failed about 2:30 a.m. Thursday, leaving the Lincoln and County Line stops — which serve the E, F and G lines — without light-rail service.
“We’re back on schedule,” said RTD spokesman Scott Reed. He said the culprit seemed to have been a broken insulator on the system’s overhead power wires.
“Because the wires are under so much tension, it caused a ripple effect,” he said.
Commuters from the affected stations were being bused to the Dry Creek station, where light-rail service was operating normally.
