Inbound Orange/Silver/Blue delays due to a switch issue at the Stadium-Armory junction (where switch replacement work was done this past weekend) #wmata
More about yesterday's delay at the Stadium Armory track junction: #wmata
The Stadium-Armory junction is again causing Orange/Silver/Blue delays today. Switch 11 is today's culprit, though the root cause is unknown (yet). #wmata
Yup. #wmata
Another issue at Switch 11 at the Stadium-Armory junction, again. ATC crews likely haven't had a chance to fully troubleshoot/resolve this issue during the day with trains still moving. #wmata
(By "another" here I simply mean another instance in which trains are delayed. The root cause is likely the same as earlier)
Expect some Orange/Silver/Blue trains to offload either at Federal Center SW or Eastern Market due to today's ongoing signal problem at the Stadium-Armory junction. #wmata

I keep forgetting when #wmata Board day is. There are so many meetings these days.
Metro received an unmodified opinion of its FY20 financials from the RSM auditing team. There're still some outstanding questions on CARES act funding implications due to lack of guidance/clarity from the Feds, but that's not on #wmata
The auditors (Dan Bonnette) heaped praise on #wmata for how the process went, exchange of info, etc., esp w/everything done virtually. For maybe 1st time in his years on the #wmata account, "I don't think a single deadline was missed by management"

#wmata
This is nearly an exact repeat of the 2018 Silver Line pullapart.

#wmata
#wmata removed all 6000-series cars from service to check for the condition which could have led to another pull-apart. 3/182 cars appear to have shown the same issue.

Silver/Blue line delays due a reported track fire outside of Addison Road.

BL/Franconia is reversing back to Addison Road
SV/Wiehle 629 might reverse back to Morgan Blvd.
#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

Probably not a terrible time for #wmata to be issuing $545 million in bonds.
wmatabonds.com/wmata-bonds-dc…
#wmata significantly under-replaced switches in FY2020 - 22, rather than 72 as planned - in part due to switch procurement issues (which I've heard is ongoing).
#wmata silently canceled its Preventative Maintenance program, and thus track tamping. Unclear if that work got swept up into other programs or what.
