All #wmata rail lines are operating normally at this time, normal mid-day off-peak schedules. Some additional trains may appear in the system thru the afternoon to help w/early Fed closing.
Extra #wmata trains are just now beginning to leave yards and go in service to support earlier afternoon crowding. A few more trains likely will come online over the next couple hours for an early ramp-up to afternoon rush service.
Some #wmata trains may hold at times as track inspection crews finish up their midday work. Crews were already out and about before the early Fed closing was called.
This is a legit Blue Line train heading to Virginia from Mt. Vernon Sq.
#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.
