I found the escalators at Woodley Park pretty deep too. I've been on the whole red line in April of 2019.

[@tkefan29]

They are really steep too.

Nice lift Dieselducy

*WMATA:* The Deeper The Station, The Slower The Elevator

[@epzik8]

I haven't been on the Red Line north of Fort Totten, and this includes Wheaton and Forest Glen.

[@matthewharris696]

You should go down a station to forest glen, it’s the deepest station with fast elevators

[@Dana_Danarosana]

Not the speediest but it's clean and runs well.

[@patricknedz]

I wouldn’t say it runs well Check my video out and see what happen.

[@elevatorsincity]

This is very SSSSSSLLLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWW.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

An inclined elevator should be placed in the middle of the escalators

[@Bombiedude.]

The system where the inside button registers automatically when the outside button is pressed Ive only really seen in target stores

[@DieselDucy]

Dc metro does this too

[@salvagesonic2903]

RIP the people died at Wheaton

[@lee4hmz]

"Soft touch" floor passing chime? Also, those call buttons at the S level looked like original US round.

[@patricknedz]

It broke last time we went there Also those trains were put out of service.

[@DieselDucy]

Which trains are out of service?

[@patricknedz]

@@DieselDucy those silver colored trains They are newer and have been pulled after a derailment

[@TakoElevators]

Looks like an automated elevator to me.

[@sarahedwards2]

Is this the deepest one in the system?

[@Ih8kone]

No, that would be Forest Glen.

[@nickpodas5636]

@@Ih8kone this voice on the elevator is heard at the vienna metro station

[@Ih8kone]

@@nickpodas5636 How is that possible.

[@ECFE]

This thing is just... no. I rode it and probably won't again unless for a video lol

[@craigbrowning9448]

Subway elevators have a way of doubling as urinals.

[@SamSitar]

what are A3, A2, A1 and SV?

[@CenTexElevators489]

Couldn't they have gone with a traction elevator, maybe 300 to 400 FPM? It certainly would be faster and more efficient.

[@xHadesStamps]

Yes and yes, for sure. It baffles me as to why they did not.

[@CenTexElevators489]

@@xHadesStamps Agreed.

[@SouthernPennsylvaniaWX]

That is one slow elevator

[@robertsmithshobbyproductions]

Did you see the videos I sent you?

[@asphaltandtacos]

It needs to be converted to traction.

[@DieselDucy]

I think it is traction.

[@mariokart8715]

Generic brand with Dover Traditional vandal resistant fixtures. Or US vandal resistant.

[@JoshSmith-me7oe]

What are the floors between street level?

[@willsheposh363]

A3, A2, A1, SV

[@carsonbradford1322]

First wow that elevator is a piece of crap

[@Aawsomeguy]

Being as slow as it is could it possibly be a hydraulic elevator system.

[@tkefan29]

Definitely not. This is way too tall.

[@xHadesStamps]

I do believe it is
