The Maryland Transit Administration has completed a full inspection of the heavy rail system, but an MTA spokesperson says officials may not finish an investigation into the cause of a July 7 electrical fire for a few weeks.

Metro subway service from Owings Mills to Johns Hopkins will resume at 4 a.m. Wednesday, five days after an electrical fire shut down the line.

The Maryland Transit Administration said it is conducting a thorough inspection of the electrical fire, and that it’s working to restore service as quickly and as safely as possible.

The subway was closed shortly after 5 a.m. from Owings Mills Station to Johns Hopkins Station, the MTA said. Baltimore County Fire officials confirmed the systemwide shutdown and fire around 7:30.

Evans Paull, a retired city planner and the author of a book about the project's history and impact.

William P. Doyle has been named CEO and executive director of the Dredging Contractors of America, effective immediately — the same job he had before his nearly three years leading the Maryland Port Administration.

Promoters of public transit say it’s possible that the state transit service has burned a bridge with those who rely on frequent light rail service.

“The stars are aligned to invest in public transit,” Gov. Wes Moore said Thursday. “This is going to happen.” But it remains to be seen when, exactly, passengers might one day be hopping on the Red Line for a ride.
