Agency, oversight group looking into pattern of railyard problems A Metro train plugged into a train shop pulled out while its power cord was still plugged in, damaging both the cord and the train, the latest problem to occur in the transit agency’s rail yards.

The incident was not serious, as no one was injured and the damage did not force the train out of service, according to Metro. Matt Bassett, chairman of the Tri-State Oversight Committee charged with monitoring Metro’s safety, acknowledged that such an incident normally wouldn’t have risen to his group’s attention.
