Re: WMATA: Silver Line Phase II System Map

Sand Box John has already said that when the silver line extension opens it will be the longest line.
How long are the other lines ? Assume we board at one terminal and stay on that train to the other terminal with no short turns.

Thanks in advance.

Question from a friend.8


You can calculate those lengths by adding the chaining distances at both ends of the routes the line runs on. The chaining distances are measured at the centers of the platforms, so add 600' to get the distance from end of platform to end of platform.

129 mile track map.

Note: When calculating the length of the Blue line subtract 6,750 as the chaining for the J Route sets back 6,750' at C&J Junction.

I have compiled the breakdown, I am in the process of doing the HTML markup in tables for subway, surface and elevated.
