There be trains.
The ROCC is trying to coordinate single-tracking around the track fire (potentially arcing insulator) but have not yet been given permission to do so. #wmata

#wmata ERT has identified the source of arcing (stud bolt). Trains will continue single-tracking while they address the issue.

Getting back towards normal service now.
