Wikipedia Description: Anacostia (Washington Metro)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anacostia is a Washington Metro station in Washington, DC on the Green Line.

The station is located in the Anacostia neighborhood of Southeast Washington, with entrances at Shannon Place and Howard Road, near Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue a major street servicing the southern portion of the city.

Anacostia was the Green Line's southern terminus from December 28, 1991, when Green Line service first began to Anacostia, to January 13, 2001, with the opening of the line to Branch Avenue. Many people still depart here to ride on bus lines that serve the southeast neighborhoods better than the newer stations.

The architecture at Anacostia is unusual. Due to the shallow depth of the station, the usual arched ceiling would have been impractical. Instead, the architecture consists of flat concrete walls, and a ceiling consisting of multiple small barrel vaults similar to the upper coffers in the six-coffer arch station design, oriented perpendicular to the tracks. Also because of the water table from the nearby Anacostia River and DC-295/I-295 (Anacostia Freeway), Anacostia has a slightly longer platform. In addition, there are no pylons on the platform at Anacostia.

Connections can be made to buses on Routes 90, 94, etc. Most of these routes were truncated or otherwise routed to Anacostia when it opened in 1991. WMATA had planned to shift all routes to Anacostia, but decided to continue ten routes into downtown, due to complaints of the higher cost of transferring to Metrorail by Southeast residents as well of complaints from Prince George's County residents of crime in Anacostia.
Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.

2020 photos: Well, that was a year, wasn't it? The COVID-19 pandemic cut off most events here in DC after March 11. The child president's handling of the pandemic was a series of disastrous missteps and lies, encouraging his minions to not wear masks and dramatically increasing infections and deaths here.The BLM protests started in June, made all the worse by the child president's inability to have any empathy for anyone other than himself. Then of course he tried to steal the election in November. What a year! Equipment this year: I continued to use my Fuji XS-1 cameras but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. The farthest distance I traveled after that was about 40 miles. I only visited sites in four states -- Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and DC. That was the least amount of travel I had done since 1995. Number of photos taken this year: about 246,000, the fewest number of photos I had taken in any year since 2007.
