Light smoke at the Buckhead MARTA station led to delays on the red line early Tuesday.

Northbound trains on MARTA’s red line are moving again  after “light smoke” at the Buckhead station early Tuesday prompted officials to offload riders and put them on another car.

“One of the trains on MARTA’s Northbound red line experienced a mechanical issue while at the Buckhead Station,” MARTA spokeswoman Stephany Fisher told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “A light smoke was seen coming from the brake area and all passengers were offloaded and boarded another train.”

No injuries were reported.

A rail supervisor went to the scene and took the train to be serviced, according to the transit agency.

“No further delays,” Fisher said.
