Riding WMATA Metrorail Silver Line (train model: 1982 Breda 2000 Series) from Washington Dulles International Airport IAD to Metro Center in Downtown Washington D.C. This train journey starts at IAD Baggage Pickup. At the baggage pickup area, I've walked towards to the Metrorail Station. The walk between the airport and station is around five minutes. Walking towards the station was easy since the "To Metro" sign was clear and simple. At the station, I've waited for the train to Metro Center Station in Downtown Washington DC (the train arrives every 10-20 minutes).

Silver Line is the only line that travels between IAD and Washington DC. The travel time between IAD and Washington DC is around 45 minutes.

1982 BREDA 2000 SERIES TRAIN:
Unbelievable that this train is 40 years old. This classic train is schedule to retire in 2024 and will be replaced by a newer 8000 Series Hitachi trains. I am amazed how clean and well maintained those trains are.
