Editing Federal Triangle station (section)

== Station layout ==
Federal Triangle utilizes the simple island platform layout. There are two tracks: track D1 is used for trains bound for New Carrollton and Largo, and track D2 is used for trains going to Franconia–Springfield, Vienna and Ashburn.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mysite.verizon.net/cambronj/ |title=John R Cambron track maps |access-date=September 11, 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140902033747/http://mysite.verizon.net/cambronj/ |archive-date=September 2, 2014 |url-status=dead }}</ref> As with all stations on the Metro, there are platform edge lights to warn passengers of incoming trains. In 2008, WMATA installed red-colored LED lights at Federal Triangle and centrally-located stations after a successful pilot at {{wmata|Gallery Place}}.<ref>{{Cite press release |url=https://wmata.com/about/news/pressreleasedetail.cfm?ReleaseID=2029 |title=Metro installing more red platform edge lights |publisher=WMATA |access-date=March 30, 2018}}</ref> There is a coffered barrel-vault ceiling at Federal Triangle, as is typical of other Washington Metro stations built at that time.

There is only one entrance to the platform level, located slightly south of the center of the platform within a knockout panel for a proposed east entrance.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://world.nycsubway.org/us/washdc/blue.html |title=Blue line |website=NYCSubway |access-date=September 11, 2008}}</ref> Escalators from this mezzanine level lead to the plaza of the William Jefferson Clinton Federal Building.
