# [Welcome Back, SafeTrack](https://blog.arlingtontransportationpartners.com/welcome-back-safetrack)

 Written by [Marie Cox](https://blog.arlingtontransportationpartners.com/author/marie-cox) | February 6, 2017

Hope you enjoyed the break, but SafeTrack in Arlington is back starting February 11 through 28. Surge 12 is a full line segment shutdown on the Blue Line between Rosslyn and Pentagon Metro Stations. Since there are no Blue Line trains running, Yellow Rush+ will serve Franconia-Springfield and Van Dorn Stations all day. 

## Surge Details

- **No trains** between Rosslyn and Pentagon
- Arlington Cemetery Station closed
- Orange, Silver and Yellow Line service will **operate normally**
- Yellow Line Rush+ will run all day between Franconia-Springfield and Mt Vernon Sq
- Free shuttle buses will operate between Arlington Cemetery & Pentagon. *This bus is not designed for rush hour commuters, but rather to support those visiting the cemetery.*

Visit our dedicated [SafeTrack page](http://arlingtontransportationpartners.com/safetrack/) for all surge details.
