Takoma is a Washington Metro station in Washington, D.C. on the Red Line, bordering Takoma Park, Maryland. The station is considered to be located in part of Takoma Park's Historic District. It is considered to be the last station in the District of Columbia on the eastern end of the Red Line heading to Maryland, though the station already borders Maryland very closely.LocationThe station serves the city of Takoma Park, Maryland as well as the Takoma Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. and is located at the corners of where Eastern Avenue (the MD/DC Line), Carroll Street NW, Piney Branch Road NW, and Blair Road NW intersect.Station layoutThe entrance to the station is at the street level, with escalators leading up to the platform. A separate accessible entrance consisting of a single elevator is located near the middle of the platform. The separate accessible and general entrances are a relative rarity in the Washington Metrorail System; only Rosslyn and Tenleytown-AU stations share this feature. Takoma, like Brookland-CUA, Fort Totten, and Silver Spring, is in the middle of a CSX rail line. There are two tracks to either side of the island platform, and Metrorail trains use the track on either side closest to the platform.
