Mechanical problems on Caltrain this morning caused delays for about five hours, spokeswoman Christine Dunn said.
The delays began around 6 a.m. when the speedometer on one train wasn't working so Caltrain officials had to use different equipment, she said.
Then at about 8:45 a.m., there was a problem with the brakes on another train, which caused additional delays.
Caltrain had even more delays at about 10:50 a.m. due to a trespasser who was in a tunnel in San Francisco, she said.
"It was a difficult morning for our passengers, so of course we would like to apologize for any difficulties we caused to them," Dunn said.
The delays ended at 11:30 a.m.
