Metro Returns to 1982 During Snowmaggedon

Metro Returns to 1982 During Snowmaggedon: Figure 1

While you were out participating in one of the city’s organized snowball fights this past weekend or just enjoying the falling snow, Dave Alpert of Greater Greater Washington was putting together a pretty amazing slide show that illustrates the evolution of the Metrorail system from 1976 to present day. The impetus behind this was the weekend’s storm. The restricted service caused by the storm meant that the operating Metro stations were limited to those that were in existence in 1982.

The slideshow can be viewed here.

Looking at the map from 1982, it is interesting to see that while the Orange and Blue lines were fairly built out, the Red Line stopped at Van Ness going north towards Rockville and the Green and Yellow lines were not even in existence.
