WAMU news is reporting that there is a fire at the escalator in Union Station, preventing Metro trains from stopping there. Metro’s website is repoting the station as closed. Buses are running from Judiciary Square and New York Avenue into the Station. It doesn’t appear as if regular trains or the rest of Union Station is affected at this time. Here’s hoping everyone has already left work!
Update 6:25 p.m.: According to WMATA, the entrance to Union Station at Massachusetts Avenue has been closed, but the station itself is open. Looks like the fire has been contatined, at least. Have a good weekened, everyone. Check out our Weekend Picks if you’re bored.
