At about 8:30am, a Silver Line train operator reported potentially hitting someone with their train. The strike was apparently low-severity; the passenger ended up on the 3rd rail side of the tracks past the train, and was able to be walked back to the platform.

The timeline for this incident appears to be unnecessarily extended

* #WMATA did not appointed the "on-scene commander" until about 20 minutes after the incident

* Did not get confirmation of 3rd rail deenergization until almost 1hr after incident

#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.

#WMATA has posted its FY22 Q3 financial report, dated May 13, 2022. It was posted on July 29, 2022. This period covers January-March, 2022.
Among other derailment investigation cascading effects: #WMATA has overhauled fewer of its older 2000/3000-series railcars with new components because they're needed for service.
As of March 2022, 82 of 182 6000-series railcars were potentially available for service.
