WASHINGTON — The man in charge of safety on Metro submitted his resignation Friday morning, just over a week after the system was shut down for .
Acting Chief Safety Officer Lou Brown had been filling the role since former chief safety officer Jim Dougherty in September聽following a preventable train derailment.
Metro spokesman Dan Stessel says Brown will remain with Metro through late April.
The effort to permanently fill the chief safety officer position has gone through a number of false starts.
Metro has another round of interviews with other candidates for the job scheduled for next week.
