Falls Church Metro

Falls Church is a location in the Washington D.C. area, to the east of Grayditch.

Location
Falls Church is technically next to Grayditch, Arlington and Mason District, but it can only be reached through the old Metro.
 * The most common way is probably to explore the Marigold Station, reachable from Grayditch where you will be fighting Fire Ants during the quest "Those!".
 * You can also come here from Arlington Cemetery via Arlington/Falls Church Metro
 * ...or via Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro in Mason District (and Hubris Comics).

The Falls Church Metro marker on the World Map takes you to an above-ground section of rail lines that acts as a train stop. Several train cars are parked on 2 sets of rails. If you follow the rails to the west, you will be able to enter the underground portion that leads to Marigold Station. If you follow the rails to the east, you will be able to enter the underground portion that leads to the Mason District. That underground portion is called the Falls Church/Mason Dst Metro.

Points of Interest

 * The L.O.B. Enterprises building is located in Falls Church.

Unmarked quest: The Lost Initiate
If this is your first time to Falls Church you'll find an ongoing battle between a Brotherhood of Steel training squad and a group of super mutants. Knight Church has been killed and Initiate Pek is trying to hold out for reinforcements in a nearby Office Building, Paladin Hoss will inform you.

Warning: If you routinely pop out of metro or tunnel exits to collect map markers for later use you will probably trigger the start of this quest.

Notable loot

 * There's a Tumblers Today in the office building with Pek. Its located in the first room to the north of the entrance on a desk.
 * Duck and Cover! underground in Falls Church/Mason Metro, in a ticket booth hidden behind a barricade. This booth is immediately to the right of the lit kiosk at the top of the left stairway.
 * There is a D.C. Journal of Internal Medicine in the men's bathroom in the Falls Church/Mason Metro near the exit to Mason Disctrict on top of a first aid box.
 * A Pre-War Book can be found in the diner in the barricaded area.
