Metro: Meet the New Line, Same as the Old Line

As this cellular telephone photo of the Wiehle-Reston East Metro station shared by Twitter Operative "Kstansbu" shows, everyone's favorite mass transit system has managed to do the impossible: they've broken the stairs. No word on whether the packed escalator to the right is actually working.
