A Metro train narrowly missed hitting two track workers during a test, and an oversight group and Metro are now both investigating the incident.

The workers were inspecting the track between the Vienna and Dunn Loring stations about noon on Feb. 5 when they were almost hit by a train being used in Silver Line testing, officials acknowledged. The workers did not have the required 15-second notice to get out of the way of a Silver Line test train, said Tri-State Oversight Committee Chairman Jim Benton, who also said his group and Metro are classifying the case as a “near miss.”
