Whether or not green line trains are going to be able to single track through the affected area. And we just dont know that at this point. Its going to have an impact on peoples commute this morning.

Take a look at the pictures from the ntsb investigators working on the track overnight. Richard jordan is following overnight developments at the live desk. The federal investigators were able to take a look at the train at the tracks. Theyve made initial assessments. The ntsb saying that the yellow line train was going south toward virginia when it suddenly stopped. No one knows where ss why it stopped. It stopped 800 feet beyond the stations platform. The train did not rerail and there was not a fire. Smoke filled the train and people started to selfevacuate. Early this morning it was transferred to metro so they can get on with the morning commute. Investigators are looking at what is called arcing or a flash over. This is when power from one source is picked up by another conductor. It looks like the high voltage third rail could have been the water, the other conductor. There was about half an inch of water by the tracks. Sometimes youll see if youve ever ridden the metro as the train is leaving the station you see thats a very short and sort of normal arc that you might see. But in certain cases, that arc can start sort of feeding on itself and generates gases that are more conductive thanen the worse it gets the worse it gets kind of dynamic here. There its not clear if weather may have played a factor. Yesterdays rain if that lead to the water there near the tracks. The ntsb saying it could take six months to a year before they have a final report. Thank you. Along with the photographs from the ntsb we received several pictures from you. Some that were on the train sent these. Take a look. You can see people walking thro tunnel. The air is filled with smoke.
