Train Spotting at Washington Union

[OlympianHiawatha]

Now that I may have a couple extra hours layover this Sunday at WAS, is there a good place around the station to safely and legally watch and photograph the comings and going on the Corridor?

Legally is a tricky word. You should be able to take photos just about everywhere, except places where the general public cant be. But that wont stop a over zealous security officer for exerting their authority over you.

I just want a spot that has a good overview of the tracks and I can get to on foot without having to risk getting run over by traffic or sniffed at by an over zealous Security.

There is a good spot fro the parking Garage.

Parking garage roof is good.

Hop on the Metro and take it 1 stop to the north, the NoMA station has a great view of everything going in and out.

Here's the take from the garage:

You can also see the Metro train at the top left - that's just about at the NoMA station.
