Today’s Metro kerfuffle involved a train coming slightly off the track near Silver Spring on the Red Line, which has caused single tracking around the incident. Of course, never to miss a good meme, Paulo points out that the train may well be attempting a sweet multi-track drifting technique only possible in manga books.
Either way, avoid the Red Line near Silver Spring til they figure this out.
I live and work in the District of Columbia. I write at We Love DC, a blog I helped start, I work at Technolutionary, a company I helped start, and I’m happy doing both. I enjoy watching baseball, cooking, and gardening. I grow a mean pepper, keep a clean scorebook, and wash the dishes when I’m done. Read Why I Love DC.
I missed all that?!! That’s my exact view from my office.
Interesting that WMATA seemingly refuses to call this a derailment.
