Houston's transit backbone has a spasm?

I was driving through Midtown tonight, and noticed that METRO's light-rail "transit backbone" was having some difficulties:

The Danger Train rail line was shut down in both directions at Main near Cleburne, with several METRO technicians working on some sort of problem, and several more METRO folks watching them work.

We probably won't hear about the problem on METRO's blog or website (those are devoted to positive spin, after all). Here's hoping METRO dispatched buses to get people around.

UPDATE: KPRC-2 and the Chronicle finally covered the news.
