Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center

Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center (formerly Mt Vernon Square-UDC) is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Green and Yellow Lines. Yellow Line trains terminate service here, and reverse direction using a pocket track just north of the station. Since December 31, 2006, Metro has been running off-peak and weekend Yellow Line trains north to Fort Totten.

Service began on May 11, 1991. The station mezzanine was renovated in 2003 to coincide with the opening of the Washington Convention Center. The renovation included additional faregates and a new street entrance.

On January 7, 2007, the fifth car of a six-car train derailed in the tunnel at the interlocking south of the station, sending twenty people to the hospital for minor injuries and significantly damaging a rail car. Service resumed the following day.

While it appears to be a setup for a collision, I the second train is actually in the pocket track north of the station, waiting to depart. When in the pocket track, with the active cab at the south end of the train, it causes the lights to flash on the inbound side of the platform. This may also trigger the "Arriving" message on the PIDS screen.
