  Yellow Line (Washington Metro) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yellow Line of the Washington Metro consists of twelve subway stations from Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center to Huntington.
Service on the Yellow Line began on April 30, 1983, adding Archives-Navy Mem'l-Penn Quarter to the system and linking the two already-built stations of Gallery Pl-Chinatown and Pentagon with a bridge across the Potomac River.
When the Green Line link to U St/African-Amer Civil War Memorial/Cardozo opened on May 11, 1991, it acted as an extension of the Yellow Line until the southern Green Line branch was completed, and then the Yellow Line only served one station on the older link, Mt Vernon Sq/7th St-Convention Center.
