I haven& #39;t seen this pic before, but the WMSC 2019 annual report has a gorgeous pic of #wmata railcar 7000 in front of the iconic main Dulles airport terminal.
Chair Hart is v timely, the WMSC meeting kicked off exactly at 12:30. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273653873207578630">https://twitter.com/Metrorail... #wmata
We& #39;ve got Zoom backgrounds.

Mayer: #wmata management replied with a "promising" letter regarding efforts to fix issues in the ROCC, but WMSC has continued and ongoing concerns. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273657722630737924">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...
Mayer: #wmata HQ fire was electrical in nature, investigation ongoing to the source, but says it was ruled accidental. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273657953376178176">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...
The ROCC is low enough in the #wmata HQ building it was unaffected by the top floor fire. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273658145861242883">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...

Dr. Mayer announcing some staffing changes. Here is WMSC& #39;s latest list from its 2019 annual operations report. #wmata

Samarasinghe: there likely would have been serious injuries if passengers were onboard either of these trains. #wmata
WMSC now presenting details surrounding last October& #39;s collision. The striking train accelerated 5 times, and the train automatically braked (ATP). #wmata
The #wmata train operator of train 700 did not immediately report they hit a train ahead of them, and the ROCC did not immediately identify a brief 3rd rail disruption (which likely was caused by the collision)

The #wmata rail supervisor first on scene noted blocked emergency egress doors; WMSC notes those doors wouldn& #39;t have been available in an emergency. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273661929773502466">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...
Anticlimber installation on #wmata railcars was an NTSB directive which came out of a 2004 incident in which a Red Line train rolled back into another. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273662173869338624">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...
Six totaled railcars. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273662395437760513">https://twitter.com/Metrorail... #wmata
The operator of the striking train was involved in a derailment in 2013, and a red signal violation in 2011. #wmata
Bruce Walker: #wmata fired the train operator and will not allow them to be re-hired. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273663124353224704">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...

Mayer ties the use of "stop and proceed" in #wmata to 2009 and the change from ATO mode to manual mode. It& #39;s easier in manual mode for operators to move trains with Zero Speed Commands than in ATO. https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273664917141286914">https://twitter.com/Metrorail...
Hart asks about disciplinary measures. Walker responds with a brief answer (it& #39;s complicated) since it involves Union rules and arbitrated policies which govern what actions are applied. #wmata
The IT worker tripped and fell around 2:35 am, but kept on working with a broken ankle (!). https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273666362028720128">https://twitter.com/Metrorail... #wmata
Today& #39;s 3rd investigation report involving a derailed hi-rail unit at Brentwood Yard: https://twitter.com/MetrorailSafety/status/1273667397694689280">https://twitter.com/Metrorail... #wmata

Important to note that these safety investigation reports are written by the #wmata safety department, given to WMSC for review. If Metro doesn& #39;t call out an issue in its initial report, it& #39;s possible WMSC won& #39;t know to have it included. https://twitter.com/STATter911/status/1273676687876767745">https://twitter.com/STATter91...
As WMSC tweeted earlier, here& #39;s the full report from the 7 October 2019 collision of two non-revenue trains. https://wmsc.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/WMSC-W0030-Collision-Oct-7-2019-Farragut-West.pdf">https://wmsc.gov/wp-conten... #wmata
