Here are the answers to whichWMATA week 167
On Tuesday, we featured the 167th challenge to see how well you know the Metro system. Here are the answers. How’d you do?
This week, we got 16 guesses. Ten of you got all five. Great work!
I must apologize for the delay in getting the answers posted due to some unforeseen circumstances.
Image 1: Farragut North 
The first image shows a view of escalators at Farragut North. This station is similar to many of Metro’s “waffle” style stations, but there’s a key difference. At Farragut North, butresses support a longer mezzanine with walkways above the tracks.
Fifteen of you knew this one.
Image 2: Huntington
Huntington was the next station. This station has a unique design, and is particulary noteworthy because the platform is built into a hillside, with the northern entrance below the tracks and the south entrance high above. This view looks down the narrow center escalator (also unique in the system). Through the skylights, you can see the roof of the station below.
Ten of you got this one right.
Image 3: Gallery Place 
The third image shows the 7th & H entrance at Gallery Place. The ceiling above the escalators here is distinctive. Other clues inclue the red column and other architectural features on the building sitting atop the station.
Eleven of you figured this one out.
Image 4: Fort Totten 
The fourth image looks down the escalators between the mezzanine and the Green/Yellow line at Fort Totten. Signage at the bottom indicates that this is a Green Line station. These signs appear to pre-date the extension of the Yellow Line to Fort Totten (and later, Greenbelt), which happened in 2006. There’s a sign that includes the Yellow Line just out of frame above the picture.
The structure of the canopy suggests a “gull I” design, though it’s difficult to make that out through the glass. Another clue includes the green and yellow escalator handrails, which are a feature unique to this pair of escalators. One final clue was Wednesday’s Breakfast Links, which included a header photo nearly identical to this one, and with a caption naming the station.
Twelve of you guessed correctly.
Image 5: Navy Yard 
The final image shows a view up the eastern escalator well at Navy Yard station. There wasn’t a lot to go on in this image, but the angle of the building suggests an intersection with one of DC’s diagonal avenues. That is indeed the case, as this entrance is at the corner of M Street and New Jersey Avenue SE.
Eleven of you came to the correct conclusion.
Great work, everyone. Thanks for playing! WhichWMATA usually takes August off, and that’s the case this year. We’ll be back in September with challenge #168.
