saying saying it was a defective panto graphic. it was a part of the equipment that linked the train to the overhead wire. the power. >> right. >> reporter: that powers the trains. the crews were working on this at the junction the entire morning for some hours actually, and luckily we're able to get this back on track. >> just mechanical. all right, stephanie, thank you much. and the count down begins to opening night at levi stadium, we are now one day away from the first event at the brand new venue. but the first cleats on the field won't be the niners, it'll be the earthquakes, soccer players. morning we have team coverage about the big build up to tomorrow's event. mike inouye joins us in a few minutes with a look at traffic routes into and out of the stadium. we begin with derek shore who joins us live outside levi stadium. 44,000 folks expected to attend tomorrow's game. >> that's right. it's going to be a lot. not the capacity.

opportunity, secretary of state john kerry called it was to allow the israelis, palestini s palestinians, hamas, to go to egypt and cairo, egypt was sponsoring peace talks to try to extend this beyond 72 hours. the state department said one of its experts there with the delegation now. all of that's up in the air. not clear if that'll progress or how they that will progress with the violence still happening now in israel. >> tracy potts live in washington, thank you. today people who live near yosemite national park will be ate loued to return home. firefighters say they are making progress battling that wild fire that is now six square miles big. the wild fire is 58% contained, but people from the area can return home now. there are still worries that the wild fire could move two mimes north toward a grove of giant sequoias. crews already dug fire lines around the sequoias during last year's rim fire. crews have widened those fire
