Very nice, but why is the N route in Black?

Good point. Thank you for pointing that out. I think I will recolor the N route and label it Adopted Alignment Future, Construction to begin 1st quarter 2009.

Oren,

I was looking through the 1975 ARS that's at WMATA web site and notices several different alignments that I left out that were made between 1968 and 1970.

03 1968 ARS:

• E Route turned west at Massachusetts Avnuue then north up 14th Street to Kansas Avenue.
• C Route turned south at Telagraph Road.

07 1969 ARS relocation of stations:

• Pooks Hill Road moved south to Medical center.
• South Capitol Street moved to Navy Yard at 5th Street SW.

11 1970 ARS:

• C Route South of King Street.
• E Route 7th Street to U Street to 14th Street.

I will edit the map to show those revisions.
