WASHINGTON 鈥� A pair of Metro problems snarled the morning commute in Virginia Tuesday.
The Orange Line ran聽on a single track between West Falls Church and Vienna聽for about an hour and a half after聽a high rail excavator, similar to a small crane, which pulls out old rail ties, derailed. A Metro spokeswoman said聽that there were no injuries and no damage to the track.
At about 6:30 a.m., Adam Tuss, of 海角精品黑料’s news partner , reported that the unit had been put back on the track; it was moved out shortly thereafter.

And service on the Blue Line was聽suspended between Franconia and Van Dorn Street due to a track problem outside the Van Dorn Street station. It was also cleared up after about an hour and a half.
In both situations, delays remained after the tracks were cleared up.
