Fort Totten (Washington Metro)Fort Totten is a Washington Metro station in Washington, DC on the Green and Red Lines; it is a transfer station between the two lines. It is also the last Green Line station in the District of Columbia going northeast. Fort Totten is located in the middle of Fort Totten Park in Northwest, and is accessed via Galloway Street. Service began on the Red Line (upper) platform on February 6, 1978, and on the Green Line (lower) platform on December 11, 1993. The name comes from a Civil War-era fortification. The lower-level green line platform is unique in that it is part underground, in a rock tunnel in a hillside, and part at ground level. A double-track connection east of the station allows trains to be moved between the lines, and was once used for Green line service to downtown on the Red Line, before the inner portion of the Green line was completed.
