BALTIMORE — Five passengers were taken to hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, the Maryland Transit Administration said, after a Baltimore Metro SubwayLink train derailed Monday evening on an above-ground portion of its route.
WBAL-TV reports the accident occurred about 6 p.m. as the train approached the Rogers Avenue platform. One car derailed, remaining upright and connected to the rest of the train. A bus bridge was put in place between the Owings Mills and Penn-North stations Monday night; an MTA Twitter post this morning (Tuesday, Dec. 27) indicates a bus bridge remains in place between the Mondawmin and Reisterstown Plaza stations to accommodate maintenance and repairs.
The MTA says it is investigating the cause of the derailment.
Mr Engel: The architectural design is called brutalist. Very austere concrete. Biggest advantage, its cheap compared to other styles.
It would be nice if you indicated on that map where this was. Map can’t even be enlarged. I HAVE ridden the entire Baltimore system as it was in 2002. Some of the high-platform downtown subway lines reminded me of being in a medium-security prison–all that bare concerete and minimalist design! Surprising they get any passengers!
