At around 9:45 a.m. at the Silver Spring Metro station, display boards showed that a “switch problem” could be causing delays in both directions. Schedule boards that trains toward downtown Washington, D.C., and Glenmont were delayed, but continued arriving at around 6- to 10-minute intervals, as dozens as commuters and passengers stepped on board.
