	Washington Metro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Washington Metro is the public transportation system of Washington, D.C., and neighboring suburban communities in Maryland and Virginia, both inside and outside the Capital Beltway.
		However, the deepest stations in the system are not in Washington, but at the northeastern end of the Red Line, with Wheaton having the longest escalator in the western hemisphere at 230 feet (70 meters), and Forest Glen being even deeper than that; so deep, the only way to the surface is by elevator.
		Washington Metro is unique among major public transportation systems, in that it has no dedicated source of funding.

	Wheaton (Washington Metro) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wheaton is a Washington Metro station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line.
		It is not the deepest station in the system, though; that honor goes to Forest Glen, which has an elevator-only exit due to its depth.
		This design, which is similar to many of the London Underground's tube stations, was used to save money due to the station's depth.

		An important reason for the success of the Washington Metro's tunneling program is that the challenges posed by the geology were correctly defined up-front on a segment-by-segment basis, and effective solutions were then devised and implemented to overcome potential difficulties.
		Washington Metro has used shotcrete on an extensive basis from the beginning of the tunneling program, predating the introduction of the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) in the U.S., which occurred in the 1980's.
		Washington Metro pioneered the use of chemical and cementitious grouting for ground modification on a comprehensive basis.
