FALLS CHURCH, Va. (AP) — Officials say a Washington Metro subway train crashed into the back of another at a rail yard, injuring three workers.

The Metro transit agency says injuries were minor and not life-threatening. No passengers were on board when the crash occurred at about 4:30 a.m. Sunday.

Metro says a six-car train was returning to the West Falls Church Rail Yard in northern Virginia when it rear-ended a parked six-car train. Two workers were cleaning the parked train to get it ready for service.

This sucks. I remember back in the day when I was young, dumb, and had my professional cranium buried deep in my gluteal cleft, I used to ride the Orange Line back and forth between Metro Center and Fairfax. What bleak memories.

The thing that stood out to me about this post is the fact 3 DC Metro workers were working..

Did you mean working, as in working on Sunday, or working, as in 'working'? LMAO Hey, it's D.C., baby. Pissed away fifteen years of my life in that cesspool.
