The ROCC has declared a "Code 34" - meaning that Rail Traffic Controllers are blind and cannot remotely see where trains are. This is *not* an imminent safety risk - the underlying ATC system continues to work - but may cause some train delays.
It sounds like the #wmata ROCC is able to see where trains are and can remotely set signals again (as of 4:58p).
This is the kind of delay that results from a Code 34 when the #wmata rail traffic controllers aren't able to monitor where trains are. They have their "eyes" back now though, all trains should be resuming movement soon.
#wmata ATC personnel cleared up trains on the southbound track first, moving to the northbound track second. Yellow/Green line trains remain delayed towards Greenbelt.
On Kojo, #wmata GM/CEO says the agency was lagging behind the region in its vaccination rate, but he didn't say what the agency's current percentage is.
Sherwood: Gondola???
Wiedefeld: "Tom, I run buses and trains, not gondolas"
Wiedefeld: #wmata didn't investigate taller or more difficult-to-jump faregates; he says the system's architecture presents a limitation
I defer to @dcmetrohero on the accuracy of the data, but it appears #wmata@Metrobusinfo has missed about ~100-140 bus trips over the past 3 hours this morning across its network.
Red Line delays due to a signal problem near Silver Spring. Trains in both directions will experience delays. #wmata
Red Line delays are primarily affecting Glenmont-bound tracks, as train operators are still going to the roadway and clamping switches. This'll impact Shady Grove-bound service as the gap in trains propagates. #wmata
Possible Green Line delays; #wmata reports they had a temporary loss of power at West Hyattsville, at the same time a train operator reported another train was possibly smoking (perhaps stuck brakes).
GR/Branch Ave train 508 is offloading @ West Hyattsville through the front-most door.
