In the three weeks since, the line has seen more than two dozen delays linked to rail cars, gate crossings, overhead power lines and the signal system.
Before the closure, the 29-year-old line was showing its age. Metro renovated much of its infrastructure, replacing and improving portions of the signals, tracks and the overhead power lines. Stations got new lighting and fresh paint. “We did not have enough time to do an adequate amount of testing,” Gallagher said. “It was whatever we could squeeze into the time available.

Such testing on the A Line lasted 30 hours, spokesman Brian Haas said.
