"Step back, doors closing..."
The Orange Line opened in 1978 as the third route in the DC Metro system. Originating in Fairfax County, VA, the line mostly cuts DC in half before aligning with Amtrak's Northeast Corridor, ending in Prince George's County, MD. The Orange Line boasts a total of 26 stops, taking just over an hour to travel end-to-end.
The Metrorail service was launched in 1976 by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), with roots going back to the 1950s. Since then, it's become the second-largest transit rail transit system in America after the New York City Subway. Existing rail cars include the aluminum-skinned 2000/3000 (Breda) and 6000 Series (Alstom), as well as the stainless steel 7000 Series (Kawasaki), with the 8000 Series (Hitachi) set to enter service in 2025. The Orange Line spans 26 miles while sharing tracks and tunnels with the Blue and Silver Lines at various points, with speeds topping out around 60 miles per hour. Trains operate in 6- and 8-car sets, requiring 198 rail cars for the line to run at peak capacity.
Special thanks to the entire Metro staff.

I will mention that as of a few months ago, they swapped out the yellow vinyl wrapping for silver, with only a few remnants of the yellow vinyl being on top the front/back parts of each money train car
