A disabled train at the Embarcadero BART station early Monday caused major delays during the morning commute, officials said.

Chris Filippi, a BART spokesman, said that around 5:08 a.m. a train suffered equipment problems to create a backup at San Francisco stations going in the direction of Antioch and Dublin.

As of 6:16 a.m., the train had been moved out of the way, officials said. Residual delays were expected over the next hour.
