Today’s Metro kerfuffle involved a train coming slightly off the track near Silver Spring on the Red Line, which has caused single tracking around the incident.

Either way, avoid the Red Line near Silver Spring til they figure this out.

Interesting that WMATA seemingly refuses to call this a derailment.
