[LiberalEsto]

Metro Earthquake Update 5
Issued at 6:00 p.m.

Rail

Crowds have dissipated at most Metrorail stations in Downtown DC. Metro Transit Police continue to monitor crowd conditions. All stations are open.
Metrorail trains continue operate at 15 mph systemwide as Metro crews perform post-earthquake inspections of the entire rail system, including inspections of 106 miles of track, tunnels, bridges and aerial structures. The speed restriction is expected to remain in place into the late evening tonight. Customers should expect significant delays on Metrorail until further notice due to the reduced operating speed.
Metro has extended the shifts of rail operators to extend rush hour service.
Update: Massachusetts Avenue at Union Station entrance has reopened. It was closed earlier for a building inspection outside the Metro station.
