( steve ) a rough morning for bart. it was testing out some new trains when they stalled right near the lake merritt station. this created some major delays until they could get the tracks cleared. ( steve ) this isn't the first time we have seen bart run in problems when testing out the new trains. last april, some test cars ran off the tracks at the hayward yard and plowed into a dirt pile. an investigation determined a cable connected to some of the equipment got pinched in a cabinet door. it then shorted out and disabled the braking system leading to the crash. bart made changes to the train's software to prevent future crashes.

the city says it appears carine (cuh-reen) peters, who we spoke with on wednesday, called the cellphone of an animal control officer on february 17th... but that officer never received the call or responded to it because he was on leave at the time. city spokesperson joanna altman says it wasn't until peters reached out an animal rescue group...

for other similar incidents and just to see if there's some synergy or something we can review or be more proactive on in the future." marie chua is the founder of "cares" and says pet owners should take steps now to make their animals are easy to track down if lost or stolen. marie chua/cares- "neuturing, spaying, micro-chipping, you know, registration of your animals." otherwise, like in this case, they may be impossible to identify. in vallejo, philippe djegal, kron four news.
