WMATA Earthquake Update

[WMATAGMOAGH]

From a WMATA press release:

As a result of a 5.8 magnitude earthquake in the Washington, DC area:   

   
• As of 1:59 p.m., all trains are operating at 15 mph.
• Metro personnel are conducting track inspections of the entire rail system.
• There are no reported customer injuries at this time.

Customers should expect significant delays on Metrorail until further notice due to the reduced operating speed.

What usually is a 32-35 minute ride became a 60 minute ride home tonight due to trains being on restricted speed. But I understand due to the circumstances.

My 35-minute ride blossomed into an hour and 15 minutes.

There was damage to the acoustical ceiling in the pedestrian bridge over VA I-66 that connects the station entrance to the mezzanine at Dunn Loring.
