Meresti Metro Station

Meresti Station is an underground train station in the Capital Wasteland's Washington D.C. Metro, but has been cut off from the rest of the tunnels. It is accessible only through the Meresti Trainyard or an irradiated underground sewer manhole in Northwest Seneca Station. It is the home of the Family, a group of self-proclaimed vampires.

Notable Loot

 * A copy of Tumblers Today can be found on a table at the guard outpost in the Meresti Service Tunnel.
 * A Mini Nuke can be found in the main Meresti Family base on top of an overhang. From where Vance stands on top of the mezzanine facing the common area below, there is an escalator on your left. Stand about half way down the escalator and you can just barely see it on top the overhang at the far end (its above the work bench). The easiest way to get it by far is to shoot it down with a sniper rifle. It will also come down with a grenade, but this is not recommended as it will go flying and can become very difficult to locate (stack boxes instead). Turning up the brightness of the game may make this very difficult to spot nuke a bit easier to find.
 * A copy of Lying, Congressional Style can be found under the box on top of the train carriage under the place Vance is usually standing, by dropping down onto it from above.
 * Vampire's Edge can be found in the locked (hard) sword cabinet in Vance's room (Vance carries the key).
 * Three boxes containing cigarette packs, ammo and the like can be found behind the plank wall of the upstairs sleeping quarters. To get there, jump onto the handrail on the right side of the platform and follow it behind the wall.
 * Karl runs a large hidden store which sometimes carries rare items and sells at least 20 scrap metal for the player to give to Walter (Fallout 3) in Megaton. It is located behind the left main area escalator. He attends the store at night, so extra inventory can be easily stolen during the day.

Appearances
appears only in Fallout 3.

Behind the scenes
Meresti (specifically Merești) is a commune in Harghita County, Romania, a part of Transylvania, which is fitting considering the overall vampire theme of the events that occur in the vicinity of Meresti Metro Station. Justin, one of the Family, makes note of this.

Bugs

 * Quite an annoying bug occurs sometimes when the door you came through will get locked at a skill of average, so if you do not have a lockpick skill of 50 you cannot get out. The only way to get out is to load from your last save point, so it is wise to save just before you enter.
 * The railing on the wall opposite to Vance's room can make players get stuck on them if jumped on, forcing the player to revert to a previous save.
