“🚨BREAKING🚨 GROUND STOP CURRENTLY AT THE FOLLOWING AIRPORTS:

⚠️ Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
⚠️ Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD)
⚠️ Baltimore-Washington International Airport (BWI)

Firefighters from Fauquier County and Prince William County confirm there is no danger to air traffic controllers, and they are returning to the Potomac TRACON. The source of the strong odor was traced to a circuit board that overheated, and it was replaced.

Thank you for your patience as we get flights up and running again “

Priority seats are next to the center doors of each railcar. The seats are marked with signs above the seat, but they can be difficult to see in crowded trains or when customers are seated.

The floor decals will remind customers to look up and proactively offer the seat to fellow passengers who may need it more. (more…)
