Note: Parking in the Washington DC Metro Area is always difficult at best. Metered parking can be found on some streets, and there is
usually parking available in parking garages, but the price is not cheap. It is advisable to park at one of the out-lying Metro Stations and
ride into the DC Area. Of particular interest would be the Blue Line's Franconia-Springfield Station at the south end of Frontier Blvd at the
Franconia-Springfiekl Parkway. This Metro line parallels the CSX former RF&P line for most of the route to the Reagan National Airport
station. The Yellow Line parallels the CSX line from King St Station past the airport and across the Potomac River. Both ends of the
Red Line parallel the CSX Metropolitan Sub (and were biult in the CSX Right of Way) running from Ivy City Yard out through Silver Spring,
Rockville and Shady Grove.
Please understand that due to the heightened security status since September 11, 2001, there may be times where you will be asked to
stop what you are doing and leave. Remember that this area has many sensitive locations where security is a major issue. When the
Security Level is at Orange or higher, do not attempt to railfan in the Washington DC metro Area.
