Dulles Corridor Metrorail Project

The Moon Shines Bright The lights are on at the screens walls on both sides of the platform at the Silver Line's Dulles Airport Metrorail Station. On a cold winter February night the moon could be seen overlooking the screen walls which reflect the iconic Eero Saarinen design of the airport terminal. The screen walls were built to provide protection from the elements while waiting on the platform for future trains. The screen walls were constructed by W.M. Schlosser Inc. The station itself was built by Capital Rail Constructors.
