WASHINGTON (AP) — Metro says there was a loud noise and smoke when a covering over the third rail touched the rail itself at a station on the National Mall.

Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says it happened around 2:42 p.m. at the Smithsonian station. It wasn’t clear why the cover came into contact with the rail, but no one was injured.
