Service resumes on St.
Louis MetroLink Blue Line
following extreme storms
▶ St. Louis Metro Transit restored full service
to its Blue Line MetroLink route on
Aug. 22, 2022, three weeks after record
rainfall and flooding caused significant
damage to parts of its system. The
most significant damage occurred on a
two-mile section between MetroLink's
Forest Park-DeBaliviere Station and the
Delmar Loop Station, which includes the
total loss of one MetroLink train and the
DeBaliviere MetroLink signal house, as
well as substantial damage to additional
communications and fiber optic systems
and equipment. The signal and switching
issues left Blue Line MetroLink trains
unable to connect at stations with Red
Line trains. However, the MetroLink team
implemented a modified single track operation
that allows trains to serve all stations
on the light-rail system, Blue Line
as well as Red Line. Preliminary damage
estimates were between $18 and $20
million, but those estimates have now
doubled to $40 million following a deeper
assessment.
