#wmata
If you're thinking "hey, didn't we do this already," that was yesterday. #wmata
BL/Franconia 402, which reported the track fire, has been backed up to Addison Road & is offloading.

BL/Largo train 423 was offloaded @ Capitol Heights to inspect the outbound track.

Delays both directions. #wmata
Silver Line trains will end service @ Eastern Market, turning back towards Wiehle.

Delays for Orange/Silver/Blue lines.
#wmata
Blue Line trains are single-tracking between Stadium-Armory and Addison Road

Silver Line trains are ending service at Eastern Market

Orange Line trains will see some delays
#wmata
A Metro train operator reported a track fire on Metro property. #wmata
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 Image
Update: #wmata will be single-tracking Blue Line trains from *Morgan Boulevard* to Stadium-Armory. A request to use the interlocking at Addison Road to single-track was denied.

Silver Lines turn at Eastern Market, OR trains delayed.
#wmata ERT has identified the source of arcing (stud bolt). Trains will continue single-tracking while they address the issue.
Blue Line trains are no longer single-tracking (Stadium to Morgan Blvd)

Silver Line trains no longer offloading @ Eastern Market

Getting back towards normal service now.

#WMATA has requested bus shuttles; bus shuttles are not yet in 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 has released its own timeline and after-action report of the July 30 cable fire event on the Red Line: wmata.com/about/board/me…

#WMATA does not know who asked for the Red Tag outage to physically rack out breakers in the area of the tunnel fire on 7/30?

#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.
