The Martinez train station has been closed since Monday afternoon as Contra Costa County health officials investigate a hazardous materials spill involving mercury in the parking lot.
Hazmat workers worked overnight to collect the toxic material. No one has been injured by the spill.
"There was a minor medical call, and the ambulance crew noted something that looked suspicious," Martinez Police Lt. Greg Hurlbut said. "And they called it in." Captiol Corridor officials says its trains will still run through Martinez, but won't stop at the usual station. Instead, trains will stop near the old Station Depot, and use the Ferry Street road crossing until further notice.
