Update at 3:30 p.m. — Metro says trains are no longer single tracking.
A Metro train got stuck in the Potomac River tunnel outside of the Rosslyn station this afternoon, leading to delays and a paramedic dispatch.
Metro evacuated passengers to the front of the disabled train — then through another train — and into the station, a video (below) shows. Metro requested that an Arlington County medic unit respond to the station as a precaution.
Orange, Blue and Silver line trains were single-tracking through station as a result of the incident. Passengers should expect significant delays.
The train that became disabled in the tunnel is one of Metro’s new 7000-series trains.

Looks like they backed up an older train to the new train and passengers walked through to get to platform https://t.co/cY3XYfsU7q
