Vernon East Takoma Park

Vernon East/Takoma Park is a tunnel in the partly caved in old Metro. It gives a route from Vernon Square to Takoma Park. This tunnel is very long and windy. Its Vernon Square East entrance can be reached from the Vernon Square side by traversing the radioactive ground above the sewer (skirt the edges of the rubble aiming for the corner that stands in the NE.

Though the Local Map calls this area Vernon East/Takoma Park, the writing on the wall indicates that this is Abernathy Station, which is shown on the DCTA Metro Map. This means it is part of the White line. That map shows Vernon Square station to the west, then a station called "Bocton" before the Abernathy station. The location of the Bocton station is unknown.
