Reply to comment by Macrophage87 in Why are Metro trains briefly going "out of service" at the end of the line? by perkinwarbeck

It isn't long enough for them to do any kind of inspection or cleaning. It's really only 30 seconds to a minute.

Maybe the driver inspects each car via camera from the driver's seat and then puts it back in service? Then if the driver saw something, they could clean it before putting it back in service.

They definitely do inspections at Shady Grove. There's a whole host of metro workers that walk through the cars before it goes back into service.

Maybe you caught them when they were running ahead of schedule and had to delay for a minute
