A ‘heavy rail work vehicle’ derailed outside of the Potomac Yard Metro station in Alexandria, Virginia.
Construction equipment derailed outside the Potomac Yard station in Alexandria, Virginia, on Tuesday morning, spurring delays for rail commuters, the Washington Area Metropolitan Transit Authority said.
The work vehicle has been moved, and Blue and Blue Plus line trains are no longer single tracking, WMATA said. Residual delays are possible after the disabled vehicle disrupted service between Braddock Road and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.
No injuries were reported. Metro General Manager Randy Clarke said it took time to put the truck back on the tracks.
