WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Washington, DC-area subway system said on Monday it expects to continue reduced rail service through at least Dec. 31 after a derailment in mid-October.
On Oct. 17, the Washington Metrorail Safety Commission ordered the system to indefinitely remove about 60% of its railcars. The Washington subway system that serves the U.S. capital and parts of Virginia and Maryland said Monday there is still no timeline to return those cars to service but added “incremental service improvements will be made” as it receives parts for older rail cars that can be returned to use.
