Came through on Rte 66 tonight and noticed an stopped, empty train with red lights on both ends on the eastbound track outside EFC station.

Anyone know what happened?

Thanks.

Doesn't seem to match either of the of those descriptions. This train was parked on the east bound track about 1 mile east (or less) of East Falls Church Station.

Though most likely this was related to the 9:21 incident.

In any case, thanks for the link.
