After a morning of delays and incidents on all six Metro lines, there are still residual delays on the Orange, Silver, and Blue Lines due to a track problem outside of Stadium Armory and yet another disabled train. It’s almost like someone was trying to set a record for most number of problems they could squeeze into one morning.

“Late-clearing” track work:

A disabled train:

And brake problems:

Which naturally caused residual delays:

Followed by more brake problems:

Fire department activity…

… Which turned out to be nothing:

And finally, normal service?

Not for long. An equipment problem:

And another delayed train:

And more brake problems:

And more residual delays:

Throw some scheduled track work in there:

And a medical emergency:

Which brings us back to the switch problem that began around 11:30 …

… and continues to be a problem:

And let’s throw in one more disabled train for good measure:

But don’t worry, a Washington Times columnist has the answer to Metro’s problems: riders should pay more money.
