Nice catch!. The Rohr 1000 series cars have been retired. They no longer were able to lead after the crash in 2017. The 2000, 3000, and I think the 6000s are still active. The 7000 series are the newest and they are nice.
I caught the money train outside of national airport the other day. The girl looks like she's about ready to retire. Saddens me to see them looking like that. Those Rohr train cars can no longer run on their own so they have placed those 2000 series cars in.
William K Bolan You're right, they're ancient There's plans for Metro to have a series of railcars specially designed for revenue collection. I imagine this taking place sometime in the early 2020s with the arrival of the new 8000-series railcars. Though, I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon. Metro is notorious for falling through on most of their plans.

Any opportunity I get to catch the original Rohr train I take advantage of because once they're gone there gone.
You are right about Metro though. They are notorious for falling through on their plans. So much for #Back2good
All of the Rohr cars have been retired, unfortunately. Cars #1000-1001 are kept at the yard at Shady Grove for historic purposes.
Rohr I know they've been retired except for the two Heritage units. Now I know where to go.
Bruh the announcement
