A fire forced Union Station to be evacuated for a short time Sunday night.

They found flames in an electrical room by an escalator near the intersection of 1st Street and Massachusetts Avenue, Northeast.  The incident created a good amount of smoke and forced Union Station to be evacuated.

Some Amtrak trains were affected and delayed because of the fire but a spokesperson said normal operations resumed around 7:30pm.

No injuries were reported.
