This Green Line train offloaded at Mt. Vernon in order to turn south to pick up passengers (many on the platform @ L'Enfant & other stations) en route to Navy Yard for the game. It'll head towards Branch Ave. #wmata
#wmata now has 5 gap trains in service or positioning to go in service on the Green Line to assist with crowding mainly at L'Enfant and Gallery Place. These trains are running in addition to regularly-scheduled YL/GR service.
Marey charts are neat. This one shows the extra Green Line trains #wmata put in service so far to get people to Navy Yard. White means non-revenue.
Green Line trains will enter & leave Navy Yard at reduced speeds due to crowding in the station.
#wmata has also begun dispatching "baseball trains" to move extra capacity from Navy Yard up to L'Enfant and Gallery Place.
#WMATA radio transmissions do appear to suggest that damage to Metro power infrastructure may have been intentional, and is what's causing this service suspension. Few details available yet as to power restoration timeline.
#WMATA offloaded Red Line train 114 due to a propulsion issue. The train is now being "Proceeded" - that is, a lookout in the lead car is radioing back to someone further back in the train so the train can move - in order to get it back to a rail yard.
Delays, both directions.
The #WMATA ROCC appears to have found a clever way to route around the disabled train just outside Grosvenor. Inbound trains are traversing via the pocket track; outbound is unaffected.
#WMATA has posted its FY22 Q3 financial report, dated May 13, 2022. It was posted on July 29, 2022. This period covers January-March, 2022.
Among other derailment investigation cascading effects: #WMATA has overhauled fewer of its older 2000/3000-series railcars with new components because they're needed for service.
As of March 2022, 82 of 182 6000-series railcars were potentially available for service.
