>> reporter: so this was a little unusual. a rail fastener that held something in place started to arc and had an electrical current go through it. normally you'd expect something closer to the high-voltage third rail to show signs of smoke or an electrical event but it traveled across the rail to the other side. because of that, metro sent that fastener to a special lab to see what was going on. we're all kind of anxiously awaiting the results of that test and what happened. and all of the smoke that you saw at the gallery place was from a fire extinguisher and that's where most of the smoke came from. again, more unanswered questions. >> all right. adam tuss, thank you. we saw adam out there and it looked like clear skiesehind him but in the last few minutes we have just issued a weather alert here on news4. >> doug,
