	Washington’s Magnificent Metro - Railway Age, September 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In the downtown Washington area underlain by an ancient seabed, most of the tunneling was in soft ground, while hard rock was encountered in the northern end of the District and in Montgomery County, Md. In the area between, extremely difficult weathered-rock-tunneling prevailed.
		Lines that had been in place a hundred years or more had to be relocated or temporarily supported during tunneling, and often were not where they were supposed to be.
		Most of the Metro system’s elevated structures were built as cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete structures, but for its most recent Green Line extension to Branch Avenue, WMATA shifted to the use of precast, post-tensioned segmental girder construction.

	20 Injured in Crash of 2 Red Line Trains (washingtonpost.com)

		Richard A. White, Metro's chief executive, said last night that the Woodley Park Station was expected to reopen this morning, with trains running on a single track between the Van Ness and Dupont Circle stations.
		The Metro system also is designed with something called rollback protection, in which electronic signals built into the track are supposed to recognize that a train is moving backward and notify computers on the train to engage the brakes automatically.
