Metrorail service on the Blue Line has been suspended between King Street and Franconia stations due to fire department activity outside Van Dorn Street, Metro reported.

The fire appears to involve a brush fire along the tracks, Metro said. The fire is outside, not at a station.
Alexandria and Fairfax firefighters are on scene.

A bus bridge is now running between King Street and Franconia.

Arrow Cause of orange line was poor maintenance

On another line, old railroad ties resulted in the track widening thus causing a derailment over the weekend. Metro is blaming the track vs. Poor maintenance.

Worn rail ties ID'd as likely culprit for East Falls Church derailment - WTOP
