Wiehle, still closed to riders. #wmata
The hits keep on coming. This is the 3rd station to close for covid-19 cleaning today. #wmata
#wmata
#wmata is now closing *Greensboro* for covid-19 cleaning.

Other stations closed just today for cleaning:
* Spring Hill
* Wiehle
* Franconia
* Capitol South
* Federal Center SW
#wmata apparently has 14 other stations on its list to be closed for covid-19 cleaning. (I can't be the only one wondering what this "deep cleaning" accomplishes when it's delayed hours/days after the known-infected employee was there)
#7 today #wmata
#7, reopened #wmata
#8, now closed. #wmata
EFC will be the next #wmata station to close temporarily (~1-2hr) for covid-19 cleaning.

Metro doesn't have switches outside court house, but it does have some at Rosslyn. #wmata ATC personnel are manually setting the outbound switch @ Rosslyn to keep trains moving.
#wmata
Orange/Silver/Blue line trains are delayed in both directions due to this signal issue. Switches @ both Rosslyn and Clarendon are clamped, slowing trains down. Court House is also being bypassed due to the power outage causing all of this. #wmata

#wmata ERT is on scene w/ATC personnel, verifying track circuits in the area.
Single-tracking between Pentagon City and Braddock Road continues. All trains on the DC-bound track. Some trains will skip some stations in the single-tracking area if there's another train behind.
#wmata is still investigating the underlying track circuit issue(s).

Orange/Silver/Blue line delays due to a signal problem @ Federal Center SW. Delays both directions.
#wmata
Trains are still stopped at both directions @ Federal Center. Two train operators need to leave their trains and go down to the tracks to secure switches before trains can move again. It'll take a few more minutes. #wmata
