[Scan-DC] Does metrorail have anti-collision equipment?

Yes, it does. However, in certain situations, it may be necessary for the operator to run the trains in manual operation. I would be willing to bet someone didn't adhere to the signal. Rumor is that they were running single tracking in that stretch of track due to a previous problem, which had been cleared moments before.

Anyone know what type of, if any, automated anti-collision equipment metrorail trains have?
