WMATA: Forest Glen Station (Red Line)

- Been a while since I've uploaded some WMATA! This is from the same time I filmed the Anacostia video ( • WMATA: Green Line at A... ), so November 2022.
Forest Glen is a station on WMATA's Red Line, and is the system's deepest station at nearly 200 ft (60 m) below the surface. Due to this and distinct to this station, the only way to access the platforms are via elevators (and a 20-flight emergency staircase), which bring you to a hallway connecting the two side platforms. Essentially, it's one platform in an 'H' shape.
Additionally, because of the lack of escalators and thus lack of direct surface access, this is the only station in the system to have smoke doors in case of a fire (you can see signs for them in the video).
Seen in service here are 3000-series and 7000-series, typical for when this was filmed. I don't know if it's different or the same now.
Btw I stayed up all night editing this, I guess I found my execution of the shots and the audio quality to be subpar, so I felt the need to go heavy on the post-production. I am very tired now lol
the spookiest and deepest station on the system.
I'll give you that, kind of spooky for the only way out to be elevators!
forest glen and wheaton are both very interesting stations to say the least by the architecture. Same goes for Anacostia as well
