JUST IN: Trains Single-Tracking On Metro's Yellow Line
JUST IN: Trains Single-Tracking On Metro’s Yellow Line
by Chris Teale — March 16, 2017 at 1:25 pm
Trains are single-tracking on Metro’s Yellow Line from Pentagon City into D.C. after water entered the tunnel south of the L’Enfant Plaza Metro station.
Metro received the report of the infiltration shortly after 11:30 a.m. Thursday. Crews removed power to the electrified third rail on the nearby northbound tracks. After an inspection, engineers found water breaching the tunnel under pressure.
As of 1:25 p.m., trains were still single-tracking. Metro officials said an estimated repair time will be posted once more information is known.
Metro posted video of the leak online:
{Snip. It's 4 seconds long.}
