A derailment is impacting Pittsburgh Regional Transit light-rail service Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n

The derailment happened at the South Hills Village rail yard and is preventing light-rail cars from getting in or out of the rail center, PRT said.<\/p>\n

“About 1\/4 of the cars we need for rush hour service are in the system. If you have a bus route available we encourage you to utilize it. Delays are expected,” PRT said in a social media post.<\/p>\n

In an update, PRT posted, “One axle of a rail car derailed from the tracks. Delays will remain in effect for a couple hours. We have crews heading to the scene to put the car back on the tracks and inspect the rail.”<\/p>\n
