Washington - Vienna?

I´ve heard that in Washington exists a subway station called "Vienna". Is this true?

If so,
How it looks over there? Has anyone a photograph?

His site is partially down. The photos are up, but they lack captions and finding them isn't the easiest right now.

The NYC Subway.Org photos are the best photos of the Vienna, Virginia Station. There is also a Vienna, Maryland over on Maryland's Eastern Shore. No trains there, however. It used to be a speed trap for people travelling to the beach at Ocean City, until the US Route 50 Vienna by-pass opened.

Actually, the "Vienna" station on Washington's Metro is located in the center of an Interstate highway (I-66) and bears little relation to the "real" nearby town of Vienna. Vienna, Virginia, was once a small rural town located on a branch of the Southern Railway, a line that in 1911 became part of an independent electrified operation called the Washington & Old Dominion Railway. This line was finally abandoned in 1968, but the original steam railroad station (which in part dates to the 1850s) still exists in excellent condition as an adjunct to the hiking-biking trail built on the old railroad right-of-way.

By the way, anyone interested in the real Vienna station can find historic views at:

The first of these dates to about 1910 when the line was a Southern Ry. branch, the second to the last days in the mid-1960s.
