On Monday, we posted our sixty-second photo challenge to see how well you know Metro. Reader Peter K took photos of five Metro stations. Here are the answers. How well did you do?

This week, we got 15 guesses. Three got all five. Great work, Dylan P, FN, and Alex C!

Image 1: U Street

The first image was fairly straightforward, with a view up the escalators at the 13th Street entrance to U Street. The main clue is the building at the top, currently home to a street-level pizza restaurant. Many of you have probably trudged up this escalator, and hopefully that helped you recognize the surroundings.

However, there were other approaches. The only 2-escalator-only exits with canopies are at Van Ness, U Street, Shaw, and Pentagon City. U Street is the only one that emerges that close to a building (and none of the other stations are near buildings faced with brick like this).

Eleven got this one.

Image 2: Addison Road

The second image shows the clocktower and parking garage at Addison Road. We featured the tower from a different angle in week 55. It’s a distinct feature of the station.

Eight guessed correctly.

Image 3: White Flint

The third image shows the underpass beneath Rockville Pike adjacent to White Flint station. These escalators are part of the WMATA system, but they don’t provide direct access into the station. The main clue here is the arrangement of the escalator shafts (facing away from each other), which is a rare configuration.

Additionally, you can just make out the distinctive roofline of a McDonalds behind the bus. That could have helped you narrow down the possibilities. The high-rise in the background could have also helped.

Ten knew the answer.

Image 4: West Hyattsville

The fourth image shows the entrance to West Hyattsville. This is one of Metro’s unique stations, and the diagonal wall on the far left houses the mezzanine-to-platform escalators. Since that’s a unique feature, it should have helped you narrow things down.

Also, while it’s a little difficult to make out from this viewpoint, the shape of the mezzanine is triangular, and so the point of the roofline is fairly sharp. That should have helped as well.

Nine guessed West Hyattsville.

Image 5: Ballston

Finally, this picture of Ballston proved the hardest. And in fact, I have to give Peter special credit here, because he actually fooled me!

When people submit photos for whichWMATA, my request is that they do so without telling me which stations they’ve submitted so I get a chance to play, too. And until now, I had a perfect score. But I got cocky and guessed Woodley Park here, which is not correct.

The short landing hallway here is similar to the one at Woodley Park, but they are distinct. Woodley Park, Federal Triangle, Crystal City, and Ballston all have in-line sets of 3 escalators. The middle landings at Federal Triangle and Crystal City connect to other passages, which would be visible from this angle.

Woodley and Ballston are really similar, but the escalators at Woodley are separated by very wide gaps, and the lighting is also slightly different at Woodley Park.

Four figured this one out.

Next Monday we’ll have five more photos for you to identify. Thanks for playing! And a special thanks to Peter K for supplying the photos this week.

If you have pictures you think would be good fits for whichWMATA, please send them to whichwmata@ggwash.org.
