Update:  Metrorail service on the red line has been restored between NoMa and Fort Totten, but note that beginning at 10 pm tonight, shuttle buses replace trains on the red line between Rhode Island Avenue and Forest Glen metro stations until closing on Monday, Sept. 2.

WMATA has issued a rail alert this morning.  No trains are running between Fort Totten & NoMa on the red line due to “overnight equipment derailment.”  A very limited number of shuttle buses are available at Fort Totten, Brookland, and Rhode Island Avenue stations to take riders to NoMa metro station, but riders should expect long delays.  WMATA advises avoiding the area, taking the green line, or taking metrobus.
