I took Amtrak Regional 131 south from Metropark to New Carrollton, Orange Line from New Carrollton to Stadium-Armory, Blue Line Stadium Armory to Addison Road/Seat Pleasant to Metro Center, Red Line Metro Center to Union Station, and Acela Express 2254 Washington to Metropark.
131 was running 6-7 minutes late because the train in front of it, 79, was 1/2 hour late originating from New York. 2254 was 15-20 minutes late due to some problem that needed to be addressed by technicians before the train could leave Washington.
I scrubbed a previous plan to also do the Shady Grove side of the Red Line, because single-tracking was fouling operations through the downtown area.
