Apparently that is the “First Modification-related occasion” Amtrak was speaking about:

Lots of of protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza gathered at Union Station in D.C. on Friday evening, drawing an enormous police presence and disrupting Metro service to the prepare station.

WTOP’s Scott Gelman reported Union Station was fully blocked off round 6:30 p.m. and that the demonstration started on the entrance of Union Station, however later moved to the aspect on First Road NE.

Crowds finally dissipated round 8 p.m., Gelman reported. Crimson Line trains had been bypassing the station, however common service resumed after the crowds left.

First Modification-related “crowds.”
