A construction scaffolding collapsed Tuesday night to temporarily halt part of Tokyu Corp.'s train services.
   A strong wind is believed to have caused the collapse of the platform at a building construction site along the tracks between Jiyugaoka Station and Toritsu-daigaku Station on the company's Toyoko Line. Both stations are in Tokyo's Meguro Ward.
   The incident happened around 10:20 p.m. Tuesday (1:20 p.m. GMT), forcing Tokyu to suspend services between Shibuya Station in Shibuya Ward in the Japanese capital and Musashi-kosugi Station in the city of Kawasaki in neighboring Kanagawa Prefecture from the first trains of Wednesday. The Toyoko Line section was brought back online around 12:20 p.m.
   According to Tokyu and Tokyo's Metropolitan Police Department, the scaffolding some 15 meters high and 25 meters wide fell onto overhead cables for the inbound tracks of the railway line, causing a power failure, which led a train traveling between Naka-meguro and Yutenji stations, both in Meguro Ward, to stop.
   Approximately 500 passengers were asked to get off the train and walk to Yutenji. No one was injured or felt unwell
