One month after a deadly train derailment in Washington State killed three people, America’s crumbling infrastructure was on display again Monday when a DC Metro train derailed in a tunnel in downtown Washington DC.
The city's Metro rail system said in a tweet that the derailment happened around 6:40 am Monday.

Washington DC Fire and Emergency Medical Services spokesman Doug Buchanan told the Associated Press that about an hour after the derailment "we have no reported injuries at the moment." The Metro said the accident didn't start a fire. The derailment occurred on Track 1 between Farragut North and Metro Center.
