Anacostia Crossing metro station

Anacostia Crossing station, or Eastern Market, is a Metro station, and a stop on the red line.

Background
This station is the southernmost point of the red line in Washington, D.C. The red line continues past this station, under the Anacostia River, into Virginia. According to a status monitor, this station is currently active. It is directly north of Rivet City.

The station is one of the largest to survive the war. On top of the standard facilities to accommodate metro passengers, it also connects to a sizable underground records and administration section. Although the stairways are long gone, the desks where DCTA clerks once worked tirelessly still sit unused in dusty rooms.

Exterior
The station lies on the outskirts of the D.C. Ruins. The stairs leading down to the station are extensive and large and the plaza is dotted with benches and maps of the metro station. Not far off to the south is the entrance to Rivet City. The station is a common area for Talon Company mercs and regulators to appear.

Interior
By entering from the Anacostia Metro entrance, you are brought out onto the raised platform in the center of the station. The central focus of the platform is the ticketing booth. To the west of the ticketing booth, you will find a sandbag barricade that separates the main floor of the platform from a raider encampment. There are raiders waiting behind the barricade. Continuing to head west on the upper platform, the rear section is the raider encampment, proper. The metro leads straight to the entrance of the Museum of Technology.

Notable loot

 * A Pugilism Illustrated can be found on a table near some raiders above the northern part of the platform.

Appearances
Anacostia Crossing station appears only in Fallout 3.
