Flooding Halts Rail Runner Service

Flash flooding has led to the suspension of all Rail Runner train service this weekend.

Transportation officials say that flash flooding washed out tracks north of Algodones on Friday evening.

They say about 100 feet of track on the bridge at Arroyo Maria Chavez are impacted.

Rio Metro Regional Transit District spokeswoman Augusta Meyers says crews are working to re-stabilize the tracks so commuter service can resume Monday.

Roughly 100 commuters who were on remaining northbound and southbound trains Friday night had to be taken by bus between Santa Fe and Bernalillo Stations.

The flash flooding has also led to the postponement of Saturday's Rails, Trails, and Ales Brew Tour kick-off event.
