The Gallery Place Metro station is back open after a train malfunctioned and filled a platform with smoke, Metro says.
A "mechanical malfunction" happened on the Red Line train about 3:15 p.m., Metro said. The train was evacuated. It's not clear how many passengers were on it at the time.
Fire department activity was reported at the station around 3:45 p.m.
Red Line service was suspended between Farragut North & NoMa Gallaudet for more than an hour. A spokesperson for Metro said the Gallery Place station was back open, with Red Line trains single-tracking through the station. Riders should expect delays in both directions. Normal service has resumed on the Green and Yellow lines.
