Every Deportation is a Policy Failure@kevsaucebro
if you’re wondering why I didn’t connect the two lines at National Harbor well that’s because I want heavy-rail to go across the Wilson Bridge, like Metro was very recently proposing with their Bloop

The west portal of the @PurpleLineMD Plymouth Tunnel. Located between Plymouth and Arliss Streets, at 2/10th of a mile in length it features a horseshoe-shaped profile measuring roughly 35.6 feet wide by 29 feet high. #bikeDC #PurpleLineMD #LightRailTunnel @purplelinenow

It was an exciting afternoon in Silver Spring as we reached another milestone in the Purple Line's construction. The last track has been laid, and testing can soon begin. Thank you to everyone who came out today to be part of the celebration.

It should not cost me $600 to fly from houston to dallas. But everybody is rich so I guess that makes sense to yall.

With rising gas prices and airline tickets, imagine if we had a much better developed rail network in the U.S. with modern facilities and fast reliable trains?

There's a common misconception that Brutalist buildings were unpainted, but thanks to microscopic analysis of the exteriors we can now recreate what they looked like in their prime.
