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.

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

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.
