Update 6:45 p.m.: Trains are now running on a normal schedule, according to Metro.
Original: A small fire on the tracks at the Vienna Metro station is causing some delays for Thursday evening commuters.
The Fairfax County Fire Department was doing an inspection out on the track when they saw a smoldering tie, a Metro spokesperson said.
