I like how all these folks are in medical distress from having to walk up an escalator!

Normally, I'd say that they should stop whining and get over it, but I've been on some of them. They are just un-freakin-believably long. Even someone in good shape would be winded by that walk.

The station serves the suburb of Wheaton, and is located at the intersection of Georgia Avenue (Maryland Route 97) and Reedie Drive. This station features the longest set of single-span escalators in the Western Hemisphere, each featuring a length of 508 feet (155 meters).[1] It is not the deepest station in the system, however; that honor goes to Forest Glen, which has an elevator-only exit due to its depth. The trip on Wheaton's escalator takes two minutes and 45 seconds, though some commuters shorten the time by walking.
