The
Yellow Line of the
Washington Metro consists of 17
rapid transit stations from
Huntington or
Franconia Springfield in Virginia to either
Mount Vernon Square (where most peak hours trains terminate),
Fort Totten (at all times, but with limited peak hours service) or
Greenbelt (served only during peak hours). During rush hours, a small handful of trains run from
Franconia Springfield to
Greenbelt and the final two trains which depart from Huntington before afternoon peak service continue north to Greenbelt. Additional Yellow Line trains may continue passenger service to Greenbelt during off-peak hours and weekends in order to stage them for Green Line service or for storage at the Greenbelt rail yard. In non rush/peak hours, almost all regularly scheduled trains run to
Fort Totten.
