A Link light rail train derailed on Monday Nov. 16th near the maintenance yard in Seattle, distrupting trains heading to the Mount Baker, Beacon Hill and SODO stations.
The train came off the tracks on the elevated train platform approximately 3:30 p.m. Only the driver was on board and no one was hurt.
Trains are now running normally. According to Sound Transit media officer Geoff Patrick, "It was removed from the track last night and service was back to normal at 5 a.m. today."

Link train derailment

This picture haunts me now, everytime I'm on the Link elevated along SR518, I-5 and other stretches where it's not on terra firma. Yikes.
