Safety Audit: #WMATA Rail Operations Control Center wmsc.gov/wp-content/upl…
The WMSC’s audit identifies 21 new findings in addition to those issued in December and May
Despite fatal accidents, numerous NTSB and FTA reviews, and other investigations that repeatedly raised alarms, ROCC management has still not created an effective safety culture.
We encourage you to read the full report for the context and details of our extensive audit work wmsc.gov/wp-content/upl…

@MetrorailSafety
WMSC experts are on scene at Silver Spring (with social distancing protocols) where at least one car of a #WMATA Red Line train toward Glenmont derailed around 11:20 a.m.
According to the preliminary required formal notification to us from #WMATA (so pending further investigation), the eight-car train appears to have passed a red signal prior to the second car derailing. No rider injuries
The WMSC’s focus is to determine all the causal factors that led to the accident. The investigation includes photos and measurements of the scene, any damage to railcars, tracks or switches - and completion of that documentation prior to re-railing
