A view from Washington Metro train platform looking across at Reagan National Terminal "B".   


Washington Metro Train, Airport Station electronic informational sign.  The Yellow was coming first so I took this to Gallery Place stop to catch the Redline to Union station.

  Picture of Union Station after getting off the Metro from the airport.  In 1901 Pennsylvania and Baltimore & Ohio Railroads built this place and it physically deteriorated over the years.  This terminal was the center of Washington life and was really busy during World War II, when as many as 200,000 people would go through here each day.


  Union Station after getting off the Metro.   The station reopened after a major renovation project in 1988 with shops, food court, restaurants, and  movie theater occupying the original building.  A new Amtrak terminal was added at the rear. It seems to be Washington's busiest places as evidenced 20 million people visiting here each year.


 Picture of Union Station Directory.  The Union Station renovation results are quite impressive.  This is where all the tours originate and the Food Court has many options for eating places.
