Water near the tracks at Arts Center train station forced MARTA officials to shut off power between Arts Center and Lindbergh stations around 1:30 p.m. Saturday.

Officials shut off power as a precaution, said Lyle V. Harris, MARTA spokesman. The water is affecting northbound service.

Customers are being transported by bus between the two stations, said Harris. Once the water is evacuated, power will be restored to the rails.

It is unclear as to when the situation will be fixed, Harris said.

MARTA employees continued to pump out water Saturday evening.

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months.  Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list.  It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
