From what I have son of the 7000s, they will be in 4 car sets much like NYCT’s 75 footers are now so they can only be run as either 4 car trains or 8 car trains and if 4 cars can’t handle passenger doing then Maryland will have to accept the 8 car trains as a fact of life.WMATA could stick it to Maryland by turning back half of the trains on the time sheet at the last stations in DC. DC and VA would get all of the 8 car trains on the time sheet, Maryland would get half as many. Half as many trains would be equivalent to shorter trains. If WMATA were to do that, phone would start ringing of the hook in the offices of the Department of Transportation, Maryland Transit Administration and the Governor.
