Normalcy Returns to Woodley Park Metro
March 31, 2005 - 6:53am
WASHINGTON - Three days after a collision between two trains, things are back to normal at Metro's Woodley Park-Zoo/Adams Morgan station on the Red Line.
Since Wednesday's crash between and empty train and an occupied one, the transit system had been forced to use a single track for trains traveling in both directions until the damaged cars could be removed and the track inspected for any damage.
Metro also ran eight-car trains on its busiest line in an effort to move passengers more efficiently.
Trains began running on both tracks just before 10 a.m. Saturday.
On Wednesday, an empty train bound for the Shady Grove rail yard rolled backward and crashed into an occupied train that had just pulled into the station.
Twenty people were injured, and the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.
