Overview
- A snapped overhead catenary on Tuesday cut power and stopped trains between Santa Marta and La Paz on Line A.
- The Metro ran provisional service between Pantitlán and Santa Marta while Santa Marta, Los Reyes and La Paz had no trains.
- Full service returned at 6 p.m. after crews spliced and re-tensioned the contact wire.
- During the four-hour outage, hundreds queued near La Paz for scarce buses and later reported packed trains once service restarted.
- Workers quoted in local reports blamed poor upkeep of insulators and catenary parts and said rain and humidity made the failure worse.
