At about 6 p.m. Monday the intersection at Mission Street and Meridian Avenue in South Pasadena became a massive traffic jam when the Gold Line train deposited scores of passengers after reports of a suspicious package in Pasadena forced the train to be rerouted, according to law enforcement sources. The suspicious package was reported to be located in Pasadena not So Pas, police said.
The Gold line that usually travels into Pasadena was turned around and forced to head back into South Pasadena because of the reports in the late afternoon, law enforcement sources said. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department made the call to reroute the train as a precaution. Passengers were still being diverted at the Mission and Meridian Gold Line site as of this posting. Traffic is at a near standstill.
The investigation is ongoing.
