Metro’s Orange, Blue, and Silver Lines are quite a mess this morning. Happy Monday!

Currently, the Stadium-Armory station is closed, with service temporarily suspended between Eastern Market and Minnesota Avenue on the Orange Line, and between Eastern Market and Benning Road on the Blue and Silver Lines. The cause? Smoke at RFK Stadium.
Metro Transit Police said that the smoke is “coming from a traction power substation” in the RFK Stadium parking lot, NBC4 reports. That substation is owned by Metro.
Anyway, if you’re stuck in one of those stations, it looks like a fine time:
