Insulator fire on Metro put out

By Colleen Kelleher

WASHINGTON — Subway trains are no longer running on a single track on Metrorail’s Orange and Blue Lines between Arlington Cemetery and Foggy Bottom after an insulator fire Monday morning. Arlington Fire tweets that a fire on Metrorail tracks was due to an insulator and is out.  No one was injured.

Metro tweets that in addition to the Orange and Blue Lines, Silver Line trains had been only operating between Wiehle-Reston East and Ballston only. Metro tweeted just before 7 a.m. that service had resumed between Wiehle-Reston East and Largo Town Center.
