Rush Hour Delays on Blue/Orange Lines

Drivers may be suffering from Terrible Traffic Tuesday, but Metrorail riders don't look to be having an easy night of it, either. The Blue and Orange Lines are delayed (we're hearing some trains are just completely stopped right now) as of about 6:30 p.m. in both directions due to a train experiencing mechanical difficulties outside Farragut West. Add that to the expected delays on the Red Line due to ongoing track circuit repairs at Fort Totten, plus track maintenance-related delays at the Braddock Road station on the Blue and Yellow Lines, and it makes for a not so comforting graphic on WMATA's web site right now. Good luck out there.
