Check this out. I like the Gold Line and the Yellow Line stop for the Jefferson Memorial:
David Alpert fantasy maps are just that, fantasy maps.
Here is a revised version of that map.

Awesome map. I wonder how long it would take to do this if it were real. Maybe 30-35 years?
Personally, I'd prefer something like this:
NOTE - the only thing I edited is the ends of the red line, everything else is the same as the first map posted in this thread
On the FANTASY MAP. . GreenLine
After Greenbelt & before Kotterra Town center, you have "CALVERTON"
It should be listed as BELTSVILLE. . . . NOT CALVERTON
CALVERTON is WEST of I-95.
Everything listed is running along the B&O I mean CSX tracks paralell to US Route #1.
GREAT planning.
A 2nd & seperate Rosslyn crossing?
With BARC going to Naval Med, have a seperate branch between Chevy Chase Lake & Bethesda/Naval Med.
Same with Huntington/Franconia/Springfield. . have something going down to Ft Belvior.
Don't forget, when we build all the NEW lines, we build it w/ a 3rd track.
Here's the latest from are friend at Greater Greater Washington:
What about a "Gold Line" for Route 7? (http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post.cgi?id=3750)
