Metro Central Metro Central , or Metro Center , is part of the underground metro system beneath the Capital Wasteland , and the largest metro station in the region . It is not controlled by any faction , instead being infested by feral ghouls and vicious dogs . This metro station is the station where the Red Line and the White Line meet . Background . Metro Central is the main DC Metro hub , where the east - west bound Red Line and the south - north bound White Line cross . Due to its strategic importance , it has been the battleground of several skirmishes between raiders , the Talon Company , and the feral ghouls . The aftermath of these skirmishes have left several members ' corpses of said factions scattered all around the station , with two barricades still left standing . One , located at the end of the service passage eastbound to Foggy Bottom station and previously held by the Talon Company , was completely overrun by the feral ghouls ; another , holding the northbound service passage to the Dupont Circle station , is still manned by the only two raider survivors . Metro Central is also used by the Brotherhood of Steel to reach their Mall outpost ( as evident by their markings on the tunnels ' walls ) , and at least one escaped slave tried to make their way through the southbound line . Layout . The main entrance from Pennsylvania Avenue is a corridor with two doors ; one leads to the large circular lobby , and the other door leads to the administrative office . The lobby leads to two restrooms , and is occupied by two leveled feral ghouls ; the office has a dormant protectron which can be activated via the wall terminal nearby ( Average lock ) . The protectron will patrol the entrance tunnel and the area near the escalators , and it will become hostile to the player unless a metro ticket is produced . The station has been divided into two stacked levels ; the first holds the White Line terminus , and the second the Red Line ' s . Most of the train tunnels have collapsed at some point , leaving the service rooms the only way to reach the other stations . The White Line terminus is remarkable in that a small portion of the ceiling has crumbled beneath a blue Corvega ( which can still be found bellow the fissure ) , allowing a great deal of light to come from outside . In the southwest corner , behind the trains , there is a female Talon Company merc enary sprawled out among the skeletons and another in the southeast corner . Following the westbound track eastward is a small irradiated storage room filled with toxic waste barrels , and a door leading to Freedom Street station . Continuing down the tracks will lead the player to a small alcove with two generators and the corpse of a female Talon Company mercenary . Following the eastbound track westward will lead to the corpse of yet another female Talon Company , as well as their abandoned barricade and the service door leading to the Foggy Bottom station . The White Line level holds altogether nine feral ghouls . Down in the Red Line terminus and following the southbound track south will be four vicious dogs and a tiny locked ( Average lock ) room containing , among other loot , a " Pugilism Illustrated " skill book , two first aid kits , and assorted chems . Turning right to the northbound tracks will lead to a small barricade with a a few ammo boxes and a dead raider behind it , as well as the passageway to the Museum station ( marked by a Brotherhood of Steel symbol ) . Following the southbound track north is the corpse of a female slave ( carrying the directions to the Temple of the Union ) and four leveled feral ghouls . East of there will be the last two raider holdouts , barricaded and fighting another two feral ghouls . Past the barricade lies the service door leading to the Dupont Circle station . The Red Line level holds altogether two raiders , four vicious dogs , and eleven feral ghouls . Appearances . Metro Central appears only in " Fallout 3 " .
