I'm visiting D.C. for a few days later this week. Any chance I could catch a ride on a 7000 series car somewhere?No. What you see is all the 7k cars WMATA has on the property. They are prototypes presently being subjected to an extensive preproduction testing and evaluation program prior to the serial production of the first 64 car option. The prototypes testing and evaluation program is scheduled to run about 3 months. It began shortly after the prototype set arrived on the property back in late December early January. Come to think of it, that 5th car might be the first car of that 64 cars option! If it is we might see the first 8 car train of 7k cars put in to revenue service sometime this summer.
