Sorry to say this, but it was probably homeless – luggage left around the station. I use that station when I go on Bart, and there’s a lot of abandoned shopping carts, often filled is junk, and left out clothes and travel bags, especially in the area where the busses stop.
Whatever it was, we’re all clear now with trains running again…
Probably left by homeless. Nobody else in a BART commuter lot.
