Here are the answers to whichWMATA week 156
On Tuesday, we featured the 156th challenge to see how well you know the Metro system. Here are the answers. How’d you do?
This week, we got 20 guesses. Nine of you got all five. Great work Peter K, Christopher Deal, Ginger, Jay H, kellyzdude, AlexC, J-Train-21, Isaac Alvarez, and Justin…!
Image 1: King Street 
The first image showed a platform pylon at King Street, looking southeast. The typeface was a clue that this was one of the newly rebuilt stations that inadvertently got the wrong form of Helvetica. You can also see the construction at center, which is where WMATA is rebuilding the station’s bus loop.
Nineteen of you knew this one.
Image 2: Rosslyn 
Rosslyn’s Commuter Store fits into the second image. There are several commuter stores around the region, but this one is fairly distinctive, and even headlines the page where Arlington commuter services promotes the stores.
Sixteen of you got this one right.
Image 3: Takoma 
The third image shows a Glenmont train pulling out of Takoma station. Takoma is fairly unique in being an aboveground station with a faregate (for patrons using the elevator) on the platform. Arlington Cemetery also has a pair of faregates, but it is a side platform station.
Thirteen of you figured this one out.
Image 4: Anacostia 
The fourth image shows some of the artwork surrounding the southern entrance (Howard Road) to Anacostia station.
Fourteen of you guessed correctly.
Image 5: East Falls Church
The final image looks east from the platform at East Falls Church. The older style median station doesn’t match Wiehle Ave, so it must be one of the four stations in the center of I-66 on the Orange Line’s Vienna branch. The construction for the widening of I-66 is also visible, to help you narrow this down. The main giveway here, though, is the presence of the high voltage power transmission lines. These lines follow the old Washington & Old Dominion Railroad. This portion of I-66 was built in the former railroad right-of-way, so the power runs along the south side of the interstate. West Falls Church, Dunn Loring, and Vienna are along a portion of I-66 that didn’t take over the rail line, since it headed for Leesburg, rather than Haymarket, as the freeway does.
Seventeen of you came to the correct conclusion.
Great work, everyone. Thanks for playing! We’ll be back in two weeks with challenge #157.
