Reply to comment by rlbond86 in The Silver Line to Dulles is a bigger deal than I thought it would be by MrMoustachio55

The fact that you can go ~50 miles without leaving your seat (silver line) on a metro is very underrated.

Fun fact, From the seat of a Silver line train you can see a tidal river and a mountain range.

It’s pretty crazy. In London that type of distance is covered only by regional railways. Couldn’t imagine the tube taking a track out to Gatwick.

I don't know if it's an advantage or disadvantage that our inner city rail has to schlep out to the suburbs on each trip. Most cities seem to prefer keeping inner city rail and commuter rail as separate entities. DC is weird.
