Wikipedia Description: Arlington Cemetery station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Arlington Cemetery is a side platformed Washington Metro station in Arlington, Virginia, United States. The station was opened on July 1, 1977, and is operated by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). The station provides service for only the Blue Line, and is located at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, underneath Memorial Drive. There is no public parking near the station except at the cemetery, which is reserved for cemetery visitors. It is the only station that closes earlier than the rest of the system, closing at 7 PM from October to March, and 10 PM from April to September. The station is also unique in its design. It is just below ground level, and is only covered by a bridge carrying Memorial Drive. The station is one of three stations to be exclusively serviced by the Blue Line, as the rest of the Blue Line's stations except two are shared with the Yellow Line to the south and with the Silver Line and Orange Line to the north.

The station opened on July 1, 1977. Its opening coincided with the completion of 11.8 miles (19.0 km) of rail between National Airport and RFK Stadium and the opening of the Capitol South, Crystal City, Eastern Market, Farragut West, Federal Center SW, Federal Triangle, Foggy Bottom–GWU, L'Enfant Plaza, McPherson Square, National Airport, Pentagon, Pentagon City, Potomac Avenue, Rosslyn, Smithsonian, and Stadium–Armory stations.

2000 photos: Image quality is going to be pretty bad because these are scans of negatives and prints. They were usually taken on a Pentax ME-Super. The scaffolding that was being used on the Washington Monument came down in March so you'll see it disappear this year. In 2000, I took three weeks and drove 10,000 miles across country in my new Saturn station wagon -- taking the northern route through Montana and other places, arriving in San Francisco (a place I'd always wanted to visit), and then returning via a southern route. The cross-country drive meant that I took lots of pictures in a 20 different states (an annual record for me) as well as one foreign country. Too many national parks to mention here but I really wish I had been using a decent digital camera then instead of my old camera. I look back at taken maybe a dozen shots at Mount Rushmore vs what I would take today and I just sigh.
