The Moscow Metro station at Park Pobedy has the longest in the world, at 413 feet. While Wheaton has the longest escalators in the Western Hemisphere, WMATA’s longest are only in 7th place worldwide. Only Rosslyn at number 5 is on a different line.Īnd while Wheaton’s mammoth escalators seem like an almost endless ride, they’re only slightly longer than one third the length of an 8-car Metro train. Interestingly, 9 of the 10 longest escalators in the system are on the Red Line.
The Wheaton escalators are so long, they’re twice the length of Cleveland Park’s, which are 10th longest. The longest in the system, in fact the longest in the Western Hemisphere, are at Wheaton, which have a span of 230’. Each of the escalators shown is actually a bank of 3 escalators (except at Rosslyn, which has 4), so technically this is a list of WMATA’s 31 longest escalators.
