Metro checking all rail circuits

Published June 24, 2009 4:00am ET



Metro’s general manager said Thursday that the transit system is manually checking all 3,000 circuits in the rail system after a National Transportation Safety Board investigation found a circuit with “anomalies” along the tracks near where a train slammed into another Monday, killing nine and injuring more than 70.

The work likely will cause some slowdowns and delays throughout the subway system.
