Rail Photo of the Month: November 2026

Breda Rehab 3209

Location: Brookland-CUA Station, Washington, DC
Operator of Vehicle: Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)
Date of Photo: October 26, 2026

Occasionally nowadays and certainly with more frequency in the past, I’d see “guess the location” posts on message boards I participated in.  These were puzzles of a sort where there were some clues that allowed someone to figure out where the photo was taken.  This photo would probably only be suitable for such a post on April 1, as the building behind the station gives away the location right away.  I had never thought to using this building as a backdrop for photos of the trains in the station, but as I was walking from the bus loop to an overpass that I thought would provide a good vantage point, it occurred to me this might be worth a try.  I certainly like how it came out!
