Red Line Trains Back Up to Speed

Red Line trains returned to full speed this morning for the first time since last week's fatal crash. With the exception of when trains are passing through the crash site, between the Takoma and Fort Totten stations, The Post reports that Red Line trains can now go as fast as 59 mph, after having been kept at 35 mph for the last week. Metrorail and Metrobus are operating on a modified Saturday schedule today.

This is surprising because I am fairly certain that Catoe said that the red line trains would not be returning to full speed until a cause for the crash was determined. Surprising, but welcome. Unless it's negligent--then it's unwelcome.
