Forest Glen (Washington Metro)Forest Glen is a Washington Metro station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line. The station serves the residential suburb of Forest Glen, Maryland and is located at Georgia Avenue and Forest Glen Road. The station is the deepest in the system at 196 feet (60 meters) deep, so deep that no escalators supply access to the surface, the only station in the system without direct access. Instead, there is a bank of six elevators that supply very fast access (within 10 seconds) between the station and the surface. Another architectural feature of this station is separate tunnels and platforms for each direction, instead of the large vaulting room seen at most other underground stations. This design, shared with Wheaton, was used to save money due to the station's depth. Service began on September 22, 1990.
