What Friday's derailment could mean for Metro

News4 video confirms the train that derailed Friday was a 7000-series train. The 7000-series trains were taken out of service after an October 2021 derailment outside Arlington Cemetery. After that derailment, it was discovered that the wheels on 7000-series railcars had been moving outward. That shift is what caused the October 2021 derailment. News4’s Adam Tuss reports.
