The source of the hydraulic fluid spill (detected from Mt. Vernon Sq to Fort Totten and also on the Red Line from Fort Totten to Brentwood Yard) is PM63, the broken-down track unit which #WMATA reported was @ Southern Ave. The unit was towed to Branch Ave rail yard.

Earlier delays on Green/Yellow lines appear to be due to a hydraulic fluid leak/spill which began on the Red Line but continued to Yellow/Green.

At approximately 6:12pm, Orange Line train 918 heading towards Vienna struck a metal object around East Falls Church. The metal appears to be fencing which may have been broken off by the wind.
Orange/Silver service remains suspended on either side of the station.
