Takoma station

Takoma is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Red Line. It is the last station within the District of Columbia on the eastern end of the line heading to Maryland.

Location

The station serves the area of Takoma Park, Maryland and the Takoma neighborhood of Washington, D.C. and is located in Northwest at Cedar Street and Carroll Street, just inside the District of Columbia.

Station layout

The entrance to the station is at the street level, with escalators leading up to the platform. A separate accessible entrance consisting of a single elevator is located near the middle of the platform. The separate accessible and general entrances are a relative rarity in the Washington Metrorail System; only Rosslyn and Tenleytown-AU stations share this feature. Takoma, like Brookland-CUA, Fort Totten, and Silver Spring, is in the middle of a CSX rail line. There are two tracks to either side of the island platform, and Metrorail trains use the track on either side closest to the platform.
