Great videos. I used to stand behind the front cab every time I rode the MARTA in Atlanta. Was great because I got to see which direction we were turning in the tunnels. (Speaking of Atlanta, if ever you’re there, you should make a video on the trains there.)
15:34 doors opening step back to allow customers to exit, When boarding please move to the center of the car. This is a red line train shady grove the next stop is Brooklyn-CUA. *Chimes* step back doors closing.
MarkTheLostTraveler, those two stations on the WMATA Blue and Silver Line, Arlington Cemetery and Addison Road will reopen back up a week and a day before Memorial Day which is on Sunday, May twenty-third.

MarkTheLostTraveler, I really liked your video. Could you hopefully next month after Addison Road and Arlington Cemetery stations are reconstructed could you kindly do the WMATA Blue Line Franconia-Springfield to Largo Town Center Full Ride?
Not sure on that one. I think there are only a few station closed. But im not sure how many are closed on the blue line. Thank you for your comments and watching.
Used to ride the Breda cars at the back of the trains with the rear facing seats to enjoy the rear views. I personally think you wouldn't be able to do that kind of railfanning on other Metro systems, but I could be wrong.
@@jayo1212 transit ( especially functioning and excellent public transit ) is an expense. Many Americans seem to be more willing to pay for another mile of freeway instead ( now that can get expensive ). I also think that the delays experienced during rush hour are illustrative of the need for express infrastructure. The population density is definitely there. Much of the discussion about any solution is about political will.
It sounds to me like the system was glitched since it's programmed to stop at NoMa-Gallaudet and the train bypassed it so it didn't default to the next which was Union Station
MarkTheLostTraveler, for some reason, I apparently like being on the last car of the Washington DC Metro so that whenever the subway train enters and exits the tunnel, I cannot hear the driver honking the horn. That uncomfortable noise of the horn is rather bothersome and annoying to me.
