Mark,

I think you are correct. However I don’t think WMATA is going to put a new color on the maps other the Silver line.

The likely routing will be something like this

Red line Shady Grove (A15) - Glenmont (B11) with short turns between Grosvenor (A11) and Silver Spring (B08)
Blue line Springfield-Franconia (J03) - Largo (G05) and Springfield-Franconia (J03) - Greenbelt (E10)
Orange line Vienna (K08) - New Carrollton (D13)
Green line Greenbelt (E10) - Branch Avenue (F11)
Yellow line Huntington (C15) - Mount Vernon Square (E01)
Silver line Middletown Road (M14) - Stadium-Armory (D08)

There is also the possibility based on the fact the there will be a pocket track on the outbound end of the Tyco Road (Tyson West) Station (M05) and the inbound end of the West Park (Tyson West) Station (M02) that there will be short turns at Tyco Road (M05) from Stadium-Armory (D08) and short turns at West Park (M02) from Middletown Road (M14).

John
