Posted by Sand Box John on Sun Feb 1 07:25:14 2015, in response to Cold weather = broken or cracked rails, posted by GOlD_12tH on Sun Feb 1 00:29:29 2015. On Wednesday morning, a rail broke between Naylor Road and Southern Avenue stations on the Green Line, wrecking the commute for thousands of riders. But cracked or broken rails are not unique to Metro.The rail that broke Wednesday was installed in 1998. That tells me the rail that broke was originally installed by the track work contractor prior to the opening of the segment. The southern Green line between Anacostia and Branch Avenue opened on 01 13 2001. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
