The Gold Line will run every 10 minutes during a.m. and p.m. rush hour—instead of the normal six minute peak service—as crews perform signal repairs.
On Thursday, November 22, a semi-trailer truck crashed onto Gold Line tracks in Pasadena damaging a signal case, which controls the speed and spacing of trains. While there is no exact completion date, the work could take up to two weeks to finish.
