In this case, "door problem" is that the operator reported the train's doors were opened (whether manually or via automation) on the wrong side of the train. #WMATA
GR/Greenbelt train 523 @ College Park is back on the move. A supervisor inspected the trackbed around the train and verified that nobody fell out of the train. The operator is now taking the train to Greenbelt yard, out of service. Single-tracking is concluding. #WMATA
GR/Greenbelt train 523 is now offloading @ College Park. Train 525 holding behind will be single-tracking to Greenbelt via the opposite track.
Green Line: delays northbound to Greenbelt due to a train @ College Park whose doors were opened on the wrong side of the train.
(And no, driving is not better. Take #WMATA, walk, bike, scoot, anything other than a car, please)
yeah uhh Orange/Silver/Blue line trains are taking at least 30+ minutes to head east into and through downtown today
It's busy out there. #WMATA
Patience out there, friends! #WMATA headway & schedule adherence is in the toilet due to crowds downtown due to #CherryBlossoms
#WMATA says chain-link fencing fell from the bridge above I-66 onto the tracks, which is what OR train 918 ran into.
#WMATA Orange/Silver line radio communications in/around the East Falls Church are bad. It took ~5 minutes for the operator of train 918 to be able to report hitting a metal object to the rail operations control center.
At approximately 6:12pm, Orange Line train 918 heading towards Vienna struck a metal object around East Falls Church. The metal appears to be fencing which may have been broken off by the wind.
Orange/Silver service remains suspended on either side of the station.
@fstopnomad The escalators of the DC Metro always make for a good photo! I took this one 12 years ago at Dupont Circle station. Had to walk all the way down because they were on a halt during the station's closing time. The security guards were quite amused about the weird German with his little camera.
