My office is in Washington, D.C. so like others have said, I don't think any of my co-workers would have been on those trains since they were heading into the city. I rarely use the metro since I commute by bike.

My partner commutes through that corridor every day. Luckily, yesterday she had an afternoon meeting up in Germantown so she was out of downtown and off the Metro. She was home before me!
I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

I used to ride that train, although I would either switch lines at Fort Totten or get off at RIA. As I understand it, the train was heading south, into town. I got a message from my exDH that he was not on the train, thankfully. He wasn't sure of some of his friends, though. Hopefully they are all okay. Terrible tragedy.
Ironically, when I lived in DC, I always rode in either the first or last cars when I took the Metro. My thinking was that if there was going to be a bomb, it would most likely be timed to hit the middle cars. Terrible thought, but I had to strategize. Those cars were the worst to be on in this case. My thoughts are with the families and friends of those involved.
