A deer (not the one that confronted a Metro train) stands in a field filled with daisies. (iStock/iStock)A deer on the Metro tracks of the Silver Line caused some delays for riders in Thursday morning’s commute. A Twitter account that tracks the radio traffic of Metro trains, @RailTransitOPS, said the deer appeared to be “playing chicken with a train” outside the McLean stop. Inbound Silver Line trains are currently holding outside of McLean due to a deer in the roadway which appears to be playing chicken with a train. https://t.co/3EyBOmYICe — Rail Transit OPS (@RailTransitOPS) November 8, 2018The delays on the Silver Line are just outside the McLean stop and in the direction of the Largo Town Center.
