Baltimore Metro to close this weekend for more tests of the new railcars

Baltimore’s Metro subway line will be out of service this weekend as the Maryland Transit Administration continues tests of a new train control system, the agency has announced. All 14 stations between Owings Mills and the Johns Hopkins Hospital will close at 8 p.m. Friday and reopen at 4 a.m. Monday. The MTA will run shuttle buses between Metro stops for riders who would otherwise take the train.
