Washington, D.C. - Speptember 2021

We had a family event to attend in Washington, D.C. in September. Rather than driving or flying we took an overnight train down and a train back.

Mostly transportation oriented photographs.

Amtrak - 2256 Acela - First Class

We took the Acela on our trip back to Boston, MA. This time in first class.

Washington, D.C. - L'Enfant Plaza

After dropping our bags off at the hotel we went to the International Spy Museum located near the L'Enfant Plaza metro sop. We were not in a hurry and seemingly took the wrong exit out of the metro so we walked around a bit.

We encountered a bunch of scooter that people just seemingly abandoned here.

Arlington, VA - Ballston-MU Station

The underground stations on the Washington DC metro have these enormous ceilings and cavernous spaces.

The circular lights next to the tracks light up as a train approaches.

Washington, D.C. - Metro Center Station

I took pictures of the Metro Center Station. It is a two-level station with the lines separated.

I like how it is arched.

 Some newer metro cars. The cars were very brightly lit.
