The escalating feud over a holiday weekend followed a period in which Metro has sought a return to normalcy, hoping to shake off a rail car suspension and the pandemic.
A long-standing battle between Metro and the agency Congress authorized to regulate Metrorail safety spilled into public view again Monday, when transit leaders called for mediation over a dispute they say threatens the transit agency’s ability to provide better rail service.
The safety commission said it discovered at least three concerns or violations it brought to Metro’s attention late last week, including a shift in training that reduced the amount of time train operators are practicing maneuvering through rail yards, the continued use of out-of-date safety standards for track-worker training, and a potentially significant gap between how Metro mechanics are returning 7000-series cars to service — and what Metro engineers think is safe.
next step in the plan and shift to weekly wheel inspections, instead of wheel screenings every four days.
