From WMATA:
Update 8:35 a.m. — Metro has restored normal two-track operations on the Red Line between Farragut North and Union Station. Trains are no longer single tracking. Customers should expect delays to continue for about 45 minutes as Metro restores normal service.
____________________
Update 8:22 a.m. — Red Line trains continue to single track between Union Station and Farragut North. Work crews are beginning the clearing process. Expect delays to continue through the AM rush hour.
Every other Red Line train is offloading and turning back at Farragut North and NoMa-Gallaudet.
Customers can use Green Line service as an alternate route between Fort Totten and Gallery Place. Customers transferring between the Red and Blue/Orange lines can avoid Metro Center delays by transferring between Farragut North and Farragut West (walk across Farragut Square).
*** ORIGINAL RELEASE FOLLOWS *** after the jump
Metro is advising Red Line customers to expect delays during this morning’s rush hour due to an unscheduled switch repair near Judiciary Square. Crews are in position and are working to replace a piece of rail at the switch point. The estimated time for completion of this repair is approximately 8 a.m.
As a result, Red Line trains are single tracking from Farragut North to Union Station. At Metro Center and Gallery Place, all Red Line trains will arrive on the Glenmont platform.
Until repairs are completed, Red Line customers should expect delays between 20 and 30 minutes. Customers on the eastern side of the Red Line can use the Green Line as an alternate route between Fort Totten and Gallery Place. Metrobus may also be an option for some customers.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
