Hey, when did they start that practice of all trains stopping at the end of the platform?  Does this also include Union Station, as trains to Glenmont tend to stop some distance back?

I'm so amazed and happy that there were survivors in that first car.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but when in the DC Area, I "live" off of the Red Line, right between Takoma and Fort Totten Stations...just down the street from the New Hampshire Ave bridge...

I asked my family down there if they heard the crash, but they didn't - i guess they weren't home or were asleep with the a/c on.
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

The stopping at the end of the platform is on every line at every station until further notice.  They did it in the days leading up to and during the inauguration, and there are other times it is to be done as well, to minimize having 8 car trains stopping outside the station and opening the doors.

I'm about 200 miles from you guys, so definitely no Red Line action. Glad I've stopped any travel plans I have for the summer.

And I just got a chance to find out wtf happened.....
It is whatever.

I'm definitely good. I was at Fort Totten earlier that day and I rode the Blue line.
Blue Line Shuttle to Franconia-Springfield.
