The Metro "M" is shown at the top; and just beneath the "M" there is a colored stripe (or combination of colored stripes) that indicates which line (or lines) serves the station.
All Metro cars are equipped with both dynamic (electronic) and friction braking systems; you can hear the "whine" of the dynamic brakes as the train comes to a stop.
When the Metro system was in the planning stages, they wanted to include a route to Georgetown, but the residents of the affluent neighborhood thought the subway would bring crime and would be seedy, not the technological marvel that it became.
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (IATA: DCA, ICAO: KDCA) in Arlington County, Virginia is the closest commercial airport to Washington, D.C. Originally Washington National Airport, it was renamed after former President Ronald Reagan in 1998.
Washington National Airport was built by the federal government on mudflats alongside the Potomac River at Gravelly Point, 7 km (4½ miles) south of Washington, D.C. Captain John Alexander built a mansion called "Abingdon" on the site in 1746.
Indeed, the WashingtonMetro system initially resisted renaming its station serving the airport, citing a policy adopted in 1987 that states that groups seeking to rename a station were required to pay the cost of replacing signage.
