“stuck between convention center and gallery place on yellow to Huntington. Smells like burning plastic/rubber and smoky in the cars. Been 10 min and no update from conductors. Truly unacceptable.”
“Smell of smoke and we can see some but not sure where it’s coming from. just kind of standing here no direction from WMATA on what to do or what has happened.”
