Train Stuck in Tunnel Causes Metrorail Delays

Metrorail experienced delays Wednesday morning when a train got stuck in a tunnel between the Courthouse and Roslyn stations along the Orange Line.

A “packed” Silver Line train was called upon to assist in freeing the stagnant Orange Line train, causing the Silver Line’s cars to unload passengers, worsening delays in the process.

Take a look at the crowds that formed as a result, as documented by one passenger on Twitter:

Metrorail announced the Orange Line train was back in commission approximately 30 minutes after the previous tweet was published.

Follow Metrorail to follow the delays throughout the rest of the morning.
