Info
Silver Spring is a Washington Metro and MARC Train station in Montgomery County, Maryland on the Red Line. On the Washington Metro, Silver Spring is the first station in Maryland on the eastern end of the Red Line, and is the second-busiest Metro station in Maryland after Shady Grove.The station serves the suburb of Silver Spring, and is located at Colesville Road (Maryland Route 384) and East-West Highway; trains from Grosvenor–Strathmore terminate here during peak travel times. Service began on February 6, 1978. Prior to the opening of Forest Glen on September 22, 1990, Silver Spring was the terminus for the eastern end of the Red Line.
Silver Spring is the last station on the Red Line heading towards Glenmont to be elevated, at-grade, or open cut. Just north of Silver Spring, the Red Line descends underground once again, therefore entering the subway. The Red Line remains underground for the remainder of its route as it continues out into the suburbs of Montgomery County under Georgia Avenue to the end of the line at Glenmont.
This station is planned to be one of the Metro stations on the Purple Line system, formerly known as the Bi-County Transitway.
Several Metrobuses and Ride On buses also serve this station.
