I am a HUGE DC metro fanatic. In fact, as one of my extra credit assignments my junior year of college, I decided to draw the ENTIRE DC metro map on a poster and show my class how to navigate through the system. I ended up getting an “A” in the class and my professor wanted to keep the poster.
Awesome videos. Only thing that would make them better would be maybe time stamps with the stations/stops to those out of DC to know where the train just arrived. Otherwise I really enjoyed them. And I hope you would be able to do another Silver Line video once the extension would open.
Hey Mark, this was a great series of all the different metro lines. Thanks for sharing this with everybody. What’s next? Amtrak to New York City maybe to Boston.
Fairfax County - Franconia Springfield to Van Dorn St./ Alexandria - Van Dorn St to Braddock Rd. Arlington - Ronald Regan Airport to Rosslyn. Washington DC - Foggy Bottom GWU to Benning Road. Prince Georges County - Capitol Heights to Largo Town Center.
Congratulations, MarkTheLostTraveler! The new Potomac Yard station just opened up this past May. Could u plz upload the ride into Potomac Yard station?
When I rode the orange line to lenfant plaza it said "Transfer is available to the green and yellow line on the upper level" and not "Transfer is available to the yellow and green line on the upper level" Does it change what it says depending on the Line you are riding?
It really shouldn't matter. It might just be the announcement is different on which series train your on. Could be the older trains haven't changed there announcement from the newer trains. Hope that kind of answered you question. Thank you for watching.
Not sure why you would say you have no business asking for something like that. But I looked on google theres no yard after the station. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the feedback it’s kind of a 50-50 split what everybody likes I kind of like more of the zoom in so you can see the track. Thank you for watching
Sometimes they tell me you can't do that. Then I'll just go to the back of the train and video. That only happened once. The other times I guess I got lucky because they didn't have a problem with it. Thank you for watching.
@@MarkTheLostTravelerou have every right to photograph through the cab as Metro is tax payer funded and our first amendment rights apply there. The trains aren't private. They belong to all of us. Our tax money goes to pay for all of the transit. I’m planning on doing the entire Metro transit in DC in the spring at the very front like in this video and will make sure I stand up for my rights if asked not to film. Public transit is for everybody to ride on. Some of these operators just don’t know our rights when it comes to filming on public transit.
I will never ride DC metrorail again. The attendants are clueless and rude and the trains are disgusting. Crackheads even do and deal illegal drugs in the trains and on the platforms.

My grandparents live near Franconia-Springfield station so I always associate it with them
Love to the grandparents. Thank you for watching.
Despite the dirty front window, I enjoyed this video. Thanks for sharing this footage!
I hate dirty window. You think they would clean them. Thank you for watching.
Awesome videos. Only thing that would make them better would be maybe time stamps with the stations/stops to those out of DC to know where the train just arrived. Otherwise I really enjoyed them. And I hope you would be able to do another Silver Line video once the extension would open.
Ill try that next time. Silver line opens sometime early 2022 i think. Thanks for watching.
One way or another great videos :)

You never know anything’s possible. Thanks for watching
a lot of vegetation growing on the track bed.
I would say their track maintenance is kind of lacking which is kind of scary. Thank you for watching.
33:45 that's been happening to a lot of green line trains for me
👀💧
Thank you for watching.
Thanks for doing this video will you do another green line video when the 4 stations from PG County ends?🤔
I Might im not sure yet. Still waiting for the other stations on the silver line to open but they keep having delays. Thanks for watching.
@@MarkTheLostTraveler Np I forgot about the other stations that's on the Silver Line can't wait for you to those as well.

Really, We should all say something.Thank you for watching.

L'Enfant Plaza (DC) transfer for the WMATA Green and Yellow Line trains on the upper level platform.

I know I have no business saying this, but I would love to see what the yard beyond Largo Town Center looks like.
Not sure why you would say you have no business asking for something like that. But I looked on google theres no yard after the station. Thanks for watching.
@@MarkTheLostTraveler it's underground. And it actually sits under a newish hotel or apartment building up the street from the station.
@@elirosen1391 ill have to see if I can get over there.
@@MarkTheLostTraveler you do that and you'll be sorely busted. Luckily I saw some pictures of it way back when, though it was as yet untracked.
As would I!

I prefer to zoom in so you see more of the railroad and less of the car interior.
Thank you for the feedback it’s kind of a 50-50 split what everybody likes I kind of like more of the zoom in so you can see the track. Thank you for watching

Did you have to get permission to film through the cab? People have gotten yelled at in the past by WMATA staff for that
Sometimes they tell me you can't do that. Then I'll just go to the back of the train and video. That only happened once. The other times I guess I got lucky because they didn't have a problem with it. Thank you for watching.
I remember when I was 13 I was visiting DC and filmed from the cab door, turns out the operator didn't like that and yelled at me for it.
@@amjkodaz WOW yelling at you and you were only 13. What an ass. Thank you for watching.
