Metrorail work vehicle derails in Northern Virginia, delaying commuters
on social media at around 5 a.m., but Metro did not specify whether the derailed vehicle was a train or otherwise until around 6:30 a.m. Initial reports from Metro about the derailment also wrongly connected it to the Potomac Yard station.
The Potomac Yard station is being built between the Reagan National Airport and Braddock Road stations on the Yellow and Blue lines. It is projected to open in May. Due to the derailment of the work vehicle, trains were single tracked every 18 minutes between those two existingThe heavy rail work vehicle involved in the delay can drive on both the highway and on Metro’s rails, and is used to move equipment to a work site on the Yellow Line bridge, which crosses over the Potomac River between Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Context: We had a technical derailment. It was a work truck & b/c of its design this can occur. No injuries, just takes time to put back on rails. Also not connected to Potomac Yard Station. In trying to be transparent our initial comms could have been clearer. Sorry for delay.
