A MARTA train broke down on a critical section of the tracks at 5:42 a.m. on Friday, causing significant delays for runners heading to the AJC Peachtree Road Race. The mechanical issue complicated train rerouting efforts, leading to long wait times for riders at northern stations, with reports of waits up to an hour. Although the train was towed by 6:37 a.m. and service resumed, many runners faced challenges getting to the starting line on time, prompting concerns about MARTA's reliability among commuters.
