In this video, you are viewing a ride aboard a Breda/Alstom 3000 series legacy railcar operating from Twinbrook to Glenmont as the "Last Red line train" of the night. The Rockville and Shady Grove stations were closed for rebuilds until mid-January of 2022.

As you may know, there were no Kawasaki 7000 series trains in service from mid-October to June 2022 because of a Blue line train derailment on October 18. All railcars had been taken out of service temporarily for investigations, resulting in reduced frequencies, which was why Metro had been running entirely lagacy 2000/3000 and a few 6000 series railcars. As of mid 2022, eight 7000 series trains are running on the line.

In the upcoming years, the 2000/3000 series railcars are to be replaced with the Hitachi Rail 8000 series, and if more options of up to 800 railcars be exercised, the 6000 series would be retired also.
