Marigold Station

Marigold Station is one of the many Metro tunnel stations in Fallout 3. The metro station is located in Grayditch. It is the easiest route to take to Falls Church. Unfortunately, it is also filled with giant ants. This station is the last stop on the westbound Blue Line in the greater Washington, D.C. area, and is shown as being active on the DCTA Status Monitor.

Traveling further south, there is a hole in the tracks that leads to the fire ant hatcheries, related to the quest "Those!".

Doctor Lesko has set up his lab close to the entrance to the Queen Ant's Hatchery. (E)

You will also find William Brandice down here. (D)

Notable loot

 * Scoped .44 magnum and rounds in the service tunnel between the west bound tracks.
 * Silenced 10mm pistol and rounds on a locker shelf next to the Nuka-Cola vending machine in the service tunnel where the .44 is found..

Unmarked quest: Grady's Package

Behind the scenes
This metro station is a reference to the "Dunn Loring/Merrifield" station on the Orange Line near Falls Church, VA. The substituted name "Marigold" is likely a reference to the 1964 play "The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds" in which a main character wins a science fair by growing marigold flowers from radioactive seeds.
