Everyone: A significant WMATA anniversary has passed all of us by in November 2008: The 30th anniversary of the start of Orange Line service to New Carrollton. This was a notable event because it was the first Metro line to reach its as-designated terminal. Five years later in late 1983 Amtrak opened its station next door replacing the old Capitol Beltway station which is now reaching its own 25th anniversary. All this led to turning NCR into a significant transport hub as it is today.
Does anyone have pics from that late 70s era to share? And a good idea here would be a "Then and Now" comparison with current day pics of the area. Perhaps maybe some Metro Orange Line memories to post? To me it is hard to believe 30 years have passed since Metro opened the Orange Line! Thanks to all in advance-MACTRAXX
