On Sunday, November 29 there was another collision on Metro (in greater Washington D.C.) This time it was in the West Falls Church rail yard and no passengers were on board. But three workers were injured. All 12 cars involved were damaged. Three cars were totaled.
Two of the totaled cars were series-1000 cars that were sandwiched between newer cars. These series-1000 cars actually derailed! These are the old cars that the NTSB told Metro to replace.
This sandwiching of the older cars between the newer cars was Metro’s solution to the June 22nd crash that killed 9 and injured 80 people.
An equally unsafe solution!
