The Green Line of the Washington Metro consists of 21 subway stations from Branch Ave to Greenbelt.
Service on the Green Line began on May 11, 1991 on four stations between U St/African-Amer Civil War Memorial/Cardozo and Gallery Pl-Chinatown, but was basically just the Yellow Line, as all trains were still Yellow Line trains running between U St and Huntington.
The mid-city line was completed on September 18, 1999 with two stations opening, and the last five stations south to Branch Ave opened on January 13, 2001, completing the system.

In the downtown Washington area underlain by an ancient seabed, most of the tunneling was in soft ground, while hard rock was encountered in the northern end of the District and in Montgomery County, Md. In the area between, extremely difficult weathered-rock-tunneling prevailed.
Two sections of the final Green Line segment were completed with Lovatt earth pressure balance tunneling machines that operated as a continuous train, placing precast concrete tunnel liners as they moved at a rate of as much as 85 to 90 feet a day.
Lines that had been in place a hundred years or more had to be relocated or temporarily supported during tunneling, and often were not where they were supposed to be.

Stations of the metro in Athens, Greece double as museums with displays of antiquities found in excavations of its tunnels in the historic city.
Some metro lines are built to the full size of main-line railways; others use smaller tunnels, restricting the size and sometimes the shape of the trains (in London the informal term tube train is commonly used).
The first real underground line in the sense discussed here was the Metropolitan Railway in London, which opened in 1863, using the era's most advanced propulsive technology: steam locomotives, designed to condense their exhaust steam when in the tunnels.
