A power problem at the Rosslyn Metro station gummed up morning commuter transit on the Silver Line.
Metro’s official information feed reported the issue on Twitter just before 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Org/Blu/Sil Line: Expect delays to Vienna, Franconia & Wiehle-Reston E due to a power problem at Rosslyn.

Silver Line trains from Wiehle-Reston East were stopped at Ballston, and riders were asked to transfer to Orange Line trains to continue their commute. The problem was reported fixed within 20 minutes; however, riders continued to report delays and other issues at the Ballston, Rosslyn and Foggy Bottom stations through about 9:30 a.m.
Power restored at Rosslyn, expect residual delays as trains resume spacing. 9:06a #wmata
